PSU has always been one of the leading Thai universities that emphasize the importance of being part of ASEAN Community. The university constantly encourages PSU staff and students to be proud of being ASEAN citizens, by organizing exciting activities and creating an atmosphere conducive to cultural exchange among Thais and fellow ASEAN members.
This year, PSU organized its annual ASEAN Week event at an even larger scale, by concurrently hosting the ASEAN Youth Forum with the theme “Advancing the Partnerships for the Sustainable Promotion of ASEAN Tourism” to celebrate the auspicious year of Thailand as ASEAN chairman. The unique event featured a special talk by H.E. Mr. Kasit Piromya, Former Minister, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kingdom of Thailand, H.E. Mr. Abhisit Vejjajiva, former Prime Minister of Thailand, and Mr. Parit Wacharasindhu. The exciting ASEAN Night and International Food Festival, together with the ASEAN Exhibition, completed the event.
ASEAN Week 2019 received heartfelt support from our close partners and representatives of leading international entities in the region, including the Consulate General of the People's Republic of China, Songkhla; the Consulate General of the Republic of Indonesia, the Consulate General of Malaysia, Songkhla; the Confucius Institute, and partner universities from China, Indonesia and Malaysia.
ASEAN Week is one of the most significant PSU events that help participants experience multiple cultures and their national heritage. This year in particular, the event managed to highlight the potential of ASEAN youth to contribute towards the promotion of ASEAN tourism in a sustainable manner.
