泰国:2020年回顾与2021年展望

Thailand:Review of 2020 and Prospect of 2021

“抗疫”与“抗议”成为泰国在2020年里最重要的两个关键词。受COVID-19疫情影响,泰国经济同比萎缩6.1%,旅游、航空及住宿餐饮等服务行业受损严重。同时,泰国掀起了抗议示威潮,导致政治陷入动荡。2021年,抗议示威运动仍然持续进行并影响泰国政治的发展。随着全球COVID-19疫情得到逐步控制,泰国经济有望缓慢复苏,但也面临诸多不确定因素。外交上将重视发展与中国、美国、日本和印度的关系,维持“大国平衡”战略,不断加强区域合作,开展全方位多边外交。

For Thailand,"Anti-epidemic"and"Protest"are the two most important keywords in 2020.On account of the global COVID-19,Thailand's economy fell by 6.1%year-on-year with service sectors like tourism,aviation,accommodation and catering severely affected.Simultaneously,the protest demonstration occurred in Thailand,which led to political unrest.In 2021,the protest demonstration will continue to influence the politics of Thailand.As the global COVID-19 has been gradually controlled,Thailand's economy is expected to recover slowly.Nevertheless,there are also many uncertainties.Diplomatically,it will pay attention to developing relations with China,the United States,Japan and India,maintain the strategy of balance among major powers as well as constantly strengthen regional cooperation and carry out multi-faceted multilateral diplomacy.
