British retailer Tesco is promoting Thai products in China.

Its store in Shanghai features a Thai food section to allow Chinese taste Thai products.

Tesco says it will progressively introduce Thai products at its other 131 stores in China.

Tesco China import food director Jenny Kian said Chinese trust the safety and quality of Thai food.

“Tesco Lotus is committed to increasing Thai exports and has made good progress in driving export volume over the past five years,” said Tesco Lotus corporate affairs director Salinla Seehaphan.

The British retailer has been promoting Thai products over the past five years in partnership with Commerce Ministry.
