Prayook Srivilai, president of Mahasarakham University, said China's experience in modern infrastructure, including high-speed rail, would help strengthen Thailand's talent development and raise academic standards.

"We will precisely align our programs with the urgent demand for localized talent in China-Thailand high-speed rail projects. This partnership will help Thailand achieve a breakthrough in this field's technology and contribute Chinese vocational education strength to the Belt and Road Initiative."

This comprehensive cooperation—ranging from short-term study tours to academic degree education—continues to deepen people-to-people exchanges and mutual learning in education between the two countries, Li said.
