Assumption University of Thailand (AU) welcomed esteemed delegates from Central Asia for the Thailand-Central Asia International Education Consortium Cooperation Forum, held on April 28 – May 3, 2025, at the Suvarnabhumi Campus. The event brought together institutional leaders and visionaries to strengthen partnerships and promote academic collaboration across borders.
This high-level forum was organized in cooperation with the “New Silk Road” Foundation, whose Chairman, Kim Won-ho, envisions a 21st-century revival of the ancient trade route to connect Korea and Central Asia through academic, cultural, and human-resource exchange. According to an article in The Korea Times, the Seoul-based foundation is underwritten by Golden Bridge Financial Group and plans to open a branch office in Uzbekistan to support exchange programs and events across the region.
The occasion provided a unique platform for open dialogue, cross-cultural understanding, and the formalization of Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) between AU and its international partners.
