China on Monday welcomed the appointment of Thailand's new prime minister and the stabilization of the country's political situation.
On Sunday, Thai military coup leaders made former army commander Surayud Chulanont the country's new prime minister.
"China is happy to see the stabilization of the situation in Thailand, and wholeheartedly hopes that Thai society will be harmonious and its economy prosperous," China's Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
The statement contrasted with the reaction of some other Asian neighbours, who voiced concern over the Thai military's continued grip on power.
Surayud's appointment came hours after the announcement of an interim constitution that gives leaders of the September 19 coup significant powers over the new administration and maintains bans on public assembly and press freedoms, and sidelines political parties.
China said it hoped to work together with Thailand to "promote strategic cooperation between the two sides, and to further deepen and develop our already friendly, cooperative ties."

Cambodia ought not to comment any issues regarding the Thais, while Khmer current ruling party are a Evil axis. If the coup happened on Khmer soil, many people will die on the hand of CPP. We, Thais, have not fired a single shot.
Khmer peeple needs to unite to drive the CPP oust.
Cambodia called for speedy democratic elections in Thailand?
