The Minister of the Ministry of Information and Communications of the Kingdom of Bhutan H.E. Mr. D.N. Dhungyel visited Mae Fah Luang University on 28 September 2017 to meet Bhutanese students and observed the facilities and academic resources of MFU.
Since the establishment, MFU has welcomed over 43 Bhutanese students, of which 14 students have successfully graduated and 29 students are now studying at MFU in various fields. In addition, MFU has provided scholarships for international students with intentions to promote human resource for developing the region and promote international atmosphere in MFU.
With the excellent academic quality and appropriate environment for learning, H.E. Mr. D.N. Dhungyel expressed that he was very impressed and also had confidence in MFU’s academic capability. H.E. Mr. D.N. Dhungyel also stated that MFU was not only an education institute that produces students who become the important human resource for the region’s development but also a bridge connecting Thailand and Bhutan together.
Apart from scholarships, MFU also supported international students to be united through their national cultural activities. Therefore, Bhutanese students and alumni were inspired to initiate the Bhutanese students association as well as the national day celebrations at MFU, and these activities will be supported by both MFU and Royal Bhutanese Embassy in Thailand. Overall, this visit from the Minister of Information and Communications of the Kingdom of Bhutan would lead to further academic collaboration and sustain the friendship and understanding between Thailand and Bhutan as well.
