The event provided an opportunity to extend congratulations and best wishes to the people and Government of India, while also strengthening the friendship and cordial relations between Thailand and India.

On this occasion, Assistant Professor Dr. Siraprapa Chainetr, Vice President of RMUTL, delivered congratulatory remarks to mark India’s 80th Independence Day.

She emphasized that education and human resource development are key drivers in strengthening bilateral relations in the future. Enhancing cooperation among universities and educational institutions in Thailand and India can create greater opportunities for student and staff exchanges, skills development, research, science, technology, and innovation. Such cooperation will also help prepare young people for the workforce and a rapidly changing global economy.

Furthermore, stronger collaboration between the education sector and the private sector can contribute to the promotion of trade, investment, entrepreneurship, and employment opportunities, generating mutual benefits for both countries. Chiang Mai and Northern Thailand can also play an important role as a bridge connecting Thailand and India through cooperation in education, culture, technology, and business.

RMUTL places great importance on building and strengthening international networks by promoting the exchange of knowledge, experiences, and skills among students and staff, as well as developing cooperation in academics, research, science, technology, and innovation. These efforts aim to create new opportunities and support sustainable human resource development.

The participation in this celebration served as an important opportunity to strengthen relationships and expand networks between Rajamangala University of Technology Lanna and Indian organizations and institutions. It also represents a valuable foundation for further developing cooperation and fostering closer and more sustainable relations between Thailand and the Republic of India.
