大家好，欢迎来到碰词儿现场！咱们今天要谈论“中泰铁路”。
中泰铁路是中国与泰国合作建设的泰国首条标准轨铁路，按最初计划，该铁路全线总长近 900 公里。2012年，时任泰国总理英拉访华，两国提出“大米换高铁”计划，但随着泰国政局的动荡，这一计划被搁置。2014年12月6日，泰国国家立法议会批准中泰铁路合作谅解备忘录草案。同年12月19日，李克强总理和巴育总理共同见证了《中泰铁路合作谅解备忘录》的签署，随后，中泰铁路进入正式协商阶段。2015年12月19日，中泰铁路项目在泰国举行了启动仪式。2016年初，中泰铁路曼谷－呵叻段开工建设、大约三年内完工，而整条线路将在五年内建设完成
China-Thailand railway
Hi! Welcome to“About China”. This year marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China. In today’s program, we will talk about "China-Thailand railway".
The China-Thailand railway will be Thailand’s first standard-gauge railway to be jointly built by China and Thailand. Its planned length is 900 kilometers.
A“rice for high-speed rail” plan was first proposed by both countries in 2012 during the visit of the then Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra to China. The plan was then shelved as a result of political turmoil in Thailand. After approval by the Thai Parliament on December 6, 2014, a memorandum of understanding for the rail project was signed on December 19. The signing was witnessed by Chinese Premier Li Keqiang and Thai Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha. Formal consultation on the project followed.
A ground-breaking ceremony was held in Thailand on December 19, 2015. The construction of the Bangkok-Kaeng Khoi section began in early 2016, and is scheduled to be completed in three years. The entire rail system is expected to be operational in five years.
