AIT OPENS RESEARCH CENTRE

COMMERCE: Aimed at incorporating regional research resources and promoting diversified cooperation, a Belt & Road Research Centre was inaugurated at the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) on Thursday.

AIT president Eden Woon said Thailand lies at the centre of the Belt & Road region. Moreover, Thailand enjoys excellent relations with China, and the majority of AIT students come from Belt & Road countries.

The centre will undertake research with the potential to benefit the entire region and engage with Chinese enterprises, businesses, foundations, and universities.

“It will be a one-stop-shop for tapping into AIT’s network,” he said.
