Thai Airways flight TG611 departed Xiamen for Bangkok on Oct 25, marking the carrier's return to the route after a six-year hiatus.
Xiamen was named China's most internationally influential inbound tourism city for 2025–2026 at the Weibo Travel Night held in Kaifeng, Henan province.
"China is ready, Xiamen is ready," said Yi Xianliang, special envoy for BBNJ Secretariat Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, "Choosing China means choosing a future of greater certainty and stability for global governance."
Gnassingbe, president of the Council of the Togolese Republic, has spoken highly of China's proven record in global ocean governance, expressing confidence in Xiamen's bid to host the permanent secretariat of the historic United Nations marine treaty.
Xiamen Port handled more than 5 million inbound and outbound passenger trips by Oct 6, up 10 percent year-on-year and hitting this milestone 25 days earlier than last year — the fastest pace on record.
The 2026 World Ocean Week in Xiamen will be held from Nov 5 to 11 under the theme "join hands to protect the deep blue: harmony between people and the sea".
Xiamen has once again ranked among the top 10 Chinese cities in the foreign talent attraction index, according to the 2025–2026 "Amazing China — The Most Attractive Chinese Cities in the Eyes of Foreign Talents".
