Beijing, August 25, 2025 – Ms Siriporn Reangjit, President of Kasikorn Bank (China) Co., Ltd., and Ms Yuki Yin, Deputy Branch Manager (Beijing), visited UNEP-IEMP to explore potential areas of collaboration.

Dr Linxiu Zhang, Director of UNEP-IEMP, warmly welcomed the delegation and presented brief introduction of UNEP-IEMP, highlighting its unique role as an extended arm of UNEP on the ground and in partnership with others on South-South Cooperation around the Climate, Ecosystems, and Livelihoods nexus. Ms Siriporn Reangjit then introduced the Kasikorn Bank (K Bank), as one of the biggest commercial banks in Thailand with presence in many international locations, including China. The K Bank also supports reforestation efforts and livelihood enhancement initiatives in Thailand, partly through its Kasikorn Foundation.

The meeting saw a number of common interests and then discussed potential areas of cooperation. Importantly, since China has tremendous success in the areas of ecosystem restoration and poverty reduction, technology transfer and knowledge exchange from China to Thailand to address the issues can be facilitated to bring success.
