CGTN: China, Argentina pledge to promote community with shared future

      A forum promoting cultural exchanges between China and Argentina was held in Beijing on Wednesday with senior officials from both countries pledging to advance the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind.

The China-Argentina High-Level Forum on Cultural Exchanges comes as the two countries celebrate the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations. Both Chinese President Xi Jinping and his Argentine counterpart Alberto Fernandez sent congratulatory letters to the forum.

For half a century, China-Argentina relations have endured tests posed by the changing international environment, exemplifying the unity and mutual development between developing countries and emerging economies, Xi said in his letter.

Noting the comprehensive and rapid development of bilateral ties reflects the vitality of China-Latin America relations, Xi voiced the hope that participants of the forum will pool their wisdom and build a consensus to help write a new chapter in the bilateral comprehensive strategic partnership and contribute to the building of a community with a shared future for China and Latin America and mankind in the new era.

Fernandez said the much accomplished media cooperation between the two countries has raised mutual understanding between the two peoples, and he looks forward to the deepening of bilateral cooperation so as to further strengthen the China-Argentina strategic comprehensive partnership.

Over 100 representatives from China and Argentina attended the forum, which was jointly hosted by China Media Group and Argentina's Public Media of the Nation. It was one of a series of events in 2022 marking the friendship between the two countries.

The many understandings reached between the two countries, such as a cooperation agreement between Argentina's Buenos Aires Province and China's Sichuan Province, will further upgrade bilateral trade and financial collaboration, Argentine Foreign Minister Santiago Cafiero said at the forum.

Buenos Aires and Sichuan are important economic provinces, Cafiero said, adding that their collaboration marks a great achievement in the China-Argentina strategic comprehensive partnership.

Fruitful cooperation, exchanges

China and Argentina established diplomatic ties in March 1972. Under the principles of the non-aligned movement, the two countries made significant progress in their pursuit of a cooperative agenda.

In 2004, the two countries signed a series of agreements, drastically boosting economic cooperation. Bilateral trade has grown rapidly during the past two decades, with China becoming Argentina's biggest trading partner in April 2020.

In November 2018, President Xi paid a state visit to Argentina where he also attended the Group of 20 Summit. Over 30 agriculture and investment deals were announced during that visit.

In a letter addressed to Xi in January 2022, Fernandez said countries should be united, respect and support each other against the pandemic disruptions, and commit to building a community with a shared future for mankind, a concept proposed by the Chinese president.

Fernandez later attended the opening ceremony of the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, where Chinese and Argentine officials also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), making the Latin American country an official BRI partner.

In addition to the MoU, the two countries also signed cooperation documents in over 10 areas, including green development, the digital economy, aerospace, the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System, technological innovation and agriculture.

UNIONPAY THAILAND WELCOMES & STANDS READY FOR INTERNATIONAL VISITORS

      UnionPay enabled over 400K QR Code terminals at merchants in Thailand to cater to Asian consumers' changing payment habit.

Since 1 July, Thailand has gradually lifted restrictions to welcome international travelers back to the Kingdom. In preparation for the return of visitors, UnionPay International (UPI) has continuously strengthened its merchant acceptance and service capabilities to bring about a more seamless payment experience for these tourists and business persons.

When Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) announced relaxed hotel quarantine period in September 2022 for residents returning to the territory, Bangkok has emerged as the top travel destination for Hong Kongers according to reports[1]. Online flight searches out of Hong Kong SAR rose close to 300% after the announcement. This was unsurprising given that Thailand was always a popular vacation choice for Hong Kongers and Macanese people pre-pandemic.      

What changed, during the pandemic, was payment habits. Industry research[2] showed that Covid-19 has accelerated the adoption of digital wallets in Hong Kong SAR, with digital wallets expected to surpass credit cards as the most popular electronic payment method in Hong Kong by 2025. Scanning UnionPay QR Code for payment is becoming more popular for residents in Hong Kong SAR and Macau SAR, with close to 2.7 million cards bound to wallets in these regions that have been enabled to scan UnionPay QR Code. In fact, the trend towards mobile payment adoption is not unique to these regions, but also seen in other parts of Asia, alongside the accelerated adoption of smart phones in this region, with 13 wallets launched in Asia in 2022 alone that supports UnionPay QR Code.     

To cater to the changing habits of travelers from Hong Kong SAR, Macau SAR, and Asia, UPI has been enabling merchants in all categories across Thailand for UnionPay Quick Response (QR) Code acceptance. From January to September 2022, close to 50,000 QR Code terminals have been added to UnionPay's merchant acceptance network in Thailand, including merchants in Retail, Food & Beverage, Supermarket, Convenience Stores, Cinema, Airport, and more. Travelers in Thailand can now conveniently scan UnionPay QR Code for payment at popular tourist brands like Central Department Store, Emporium, KOI The, Lawson108, Starbucks, Tesco Lotus, and at over 400,000 UnionPay QR Code terminals all over the Kingdom.    

Besides UnionPay QR Code, visitors to Thailand can also enjoy seamless cashless payment with their UnionPay cards as they shop, dine, and enjoy the sights, sounds and experiences in the Land of a Thousand Smiles, including at tourists favorites like Big C, Dairy Queen, Gourmet Supermarket, McDonald's, Siam Paragon and more.

"Payment experience emphasizes speed, precision, security and seamlessness, among others. Thus we fully understand that it's a hassle for travelers to carry foreign currency when abroad, not to mention that they want to reduce usage of fiat currency filled with germs and bacteria, even with the pandemic mostly behind us. We welcome visitors from Hong Kong SAR, Macau SAR and other markets to enjoy fast, seamless and secure payment experience with UnionPay when they immerse into Thai delectable cuisines, pristine beaches and wonderful hospitality. With abundant tourism resources and a populace that welcome international visitors, Thailand should quickly reclaim her status as one of the most visited nations globally," said Michael Shang, Thailand Country General Manager of UnionPay International.   

To further enhance the payment experience for inbound travelers, UnionPay has collaborated with Central Department Store, Central Pattana, and The Mall Group to offer privileges and offers for these customers.
