On 19 September 2014, Mr. Thawat Theerawat, Minister Counsellor of the Royal Thai Embassy in Buenos Aires, welcomed and gave a briefing about Thailand to a delegation comprising of students and professors from Institute of International Relations, Catholic University of Salta (UCASAL), at Thai Ambassador’s residence. 

 

            Minister Counsellor gave a briefing about Thailand including politics, economy, society, artsม culture, and tourism to the delegation comprising of 18 students and 2 professors from UCASAL. Moreover, he also mentioned about the bilateral relations between Thailand and Argentina and the Embassy’s projects to promote cordial relations between the two countries. “Thailand Corner” is one of those projects that Royal Thai Embassy attaches importance to and continues to carry out every year with an ultimate goal of setting up “Thai Studies” programme in Argentine universities. Last year, the Royal Thai Embassy also inaugurated the “Thailand Corner” at UCASAL which received enthusiastic response from the university.
