Khunying Sumonta Promboon expressed her gratitude to CDU for its warm reception, spoke highly of its rapid development, and briefed on Chitralada Technology Institute.

She looks forward to expanding cooperation with CDU and promoting cooperation and exchanges in scientific research, overseas student training, and exchanges of teachers and students, thus achieving mutual benefits and win-win results.
