Moreover, the Chinese embassy in Bangkok has facilitated Chinese teachers to teach at MFU and promoted several cultural activities. The great and meaningful success of cooperation in Chinese language teaching and culture exchange can be seen from the number of students who want to study Chinese language in School of Sinology as well as the number of students who join many Chinese cultural activities. Furthermore, there were several official courtesy visits and academic activities between MFU and the Chinese Embassy.
