A delegation from Thailand’s Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation (MHESI), composed of representatives from several institutions including IASP member Prince of Songkla University Science Park, visited the IASP China Office. The delegation was formally received by Yang Ming, Director of the IASP China Office. 

The visit provided an opportunity for in-depth exchanges on potential areas of international collaboration between Thailand and China within the science park and innovation ecosystem. During the meeting, Yang Ming introduced the IASP China Office’s role in facilitating cross-border cooperation and shared insights into a range of international cooperation models, with particular focus on the “Twin Park in Two Countries” initiative. 

In the discussions, Yang Ming highlighted Prince of Songkla University’s strengths and experience in hotel and tourism management, noting their relevance to emerging innovation-led development projects.
