Under the background of “Belt and Road” Initiative and “210 Project” for vocational and technical education cooperation between China and Thailand, educational exchanges and cooperation between the two countries have continued to deepen. In order to actively serve the high-quality construction of “Belt and Road”, our college takes “Chinese+Vocational Skills” education as the carrier, fully utilizes the communication function of Chinese, and promotes the “going out” of vocational skill courses and traditional Chinese culture courses with our college’s unique characteristics.

China and Thailand are good neighbors, good friends, good partners and good relatives. The concept of a community with a shared future has given the saying “China and Thailand are like one family” a new era connotation. We look forward to deeper educational exchanges between China and Thailand in the future, making greater contributions to the development of vocational education in both countries.
The successful holding of this training has not only built a bridge for educational exchanges between China and Thailand, but also injected new vitality into the internationalization process of our college. In the coming days, we look forward to the teachers and students of Dusit Technical College spending a pleasant and fulfilling learning time at our college, gaining both knowledge and friendship.
