A delegation led by Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn of the Kingdom of Thailand recently visited China, at the invitation of the Chinese government. On April 8, they paid a visit to the Chinese Traditional Culture Museum (CTCM). Sirindhorn was accompanied by Thailand's Ambassador to China Han Cancai and Ambassador Lv Jian, from the Department of Asian and African Affairs of China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Wang Chenyang, secretary of the Party Committee of the CTCM, welcomed the delegation. Wei Dawei, deputy director of the CTCM and others accompanied the tour.

While visiting the "Prosperity Nourished by Chinese Culture -- Basic Exhibition of Chinese Arts and Crafts – the basic display of Chinese arts and crafts" exhibition, Sirindhorn showed great interest in the Chinese artworks. She asked questions, took photos and noted down information about the exhibits during the explanations.

The princess signed her name in Chinese characters in the museum's guest book. The museum leaders and Sirindhorn exchanged gifts and took photos together. 

She also visited the museum's themed post office and creative cultural shop, where she purchased a complete set of bookmarks and stickers from the "Shan Hai Jing"(Classic of Mountains and Rivers) series.

After the tour, Wang invited Princess Sirindhorn to visit again and expressed the hope for cultural exchanges between China and Thailand in the field of handicrafts. Sirindhorn responded in Chinese, "I will come again next year."
