On 1 May 2023, Mayor Gong had an opportunity to exchange with Governor Sittipunt. H.E.

Such interactions have helped strengthen overall cooperation between Thailand - Shanghai and Bangkok - Shanghai, including on trade and investment, connectivity, green and smart city, cultural exchanges and people-to-people contacts.  

本次访问在科学、技术和创新方面的合作也得到了推进。2023年5月1日，龚市长和泰国上议院科学研究与创新委员会主席Kraisid Tontisirin先生见证了泰国科学研究与创新组织（TSRI）和上海市科学技术委员会（STCSM）将在2023年至2026年期间继续开展科技创新合作的备忘录签署。并于中国科学院曼谷创新合作中心（CAS ICCB），共同为由中国科学技术部和上海市人民政府于2016年发起的绿色科技银行首个海外分支机构“绿色技术银行曼谷中心”揭牌。

此外，促进贸易、投资和经济合作是此次访问的核心。上海市人民政府在泰国投资促进委员会的支持下，于2023年5月2日在曼谷组织抽办了2023“投资上海·共享未来”海外行系列活动（泰国曼谷站），为泰国和外国投资者介绍在上海的投资和商机，这是上海在2023年开展的首次海外推介活动。在会议签约仪式上，泰国和上海宣布了6个合作项目，涵盖了金融、电动汽车、珠宝和水果贸易、质子重离子医疗以及相关部门和商业协会之间的合作。

Promoting trade, investment and economic cooperation was central to this visit. Shanghai Municipal People’s Government, with the support of the Board of Investment of Thailand, organized the “Invest in Shanghai, Share the Future” Conference in Bangkok on 2 May 2023 to present investment and business opportunities in Shanghai for Thai and foreign investors, which was the first overseas promotion event carried out by Shanghai in 2023. At the signing ceremony of the Conference, 6 cooperation projects between Thailand and Shanghai were announced, covering the fields of finance, EV, jewelry and fruits trade, nuclear medicine and cooperation between relevant authorities and business associations.
