To strengthen educational relations with Thailand, the United States has launched a new scientific premier program.
The walk was announced by Robert Godec, the US embassy, during a media briefing on Tuesday at a US Independence Day welcome, celebrating 248 years of independence and the 190th anniversary of US- Thailand relationships.
He said the embassy has introduced an education initiative called the International Academic Partnership Program ( IAPP ) by partnering with the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research, and Innovation, as well as the Institute of International Education ( IIE ) as the implementor of IAPP Thailand.
To encourage more student- and faculty exchange programs, combined research projects, and scientific collaboration between the two nations, IIE and the official chose 18 US and 29 Thai universities and colleges to take part in the IAPP.
The IAPP may also aid participating institutions in developing frameworks to maintain and advance those partnerships, developing partnerships with like-minded institutions, and drafting foreign education proper plans.
However, the ambassador even touched on the F- 16 fighter jet request that the US made to the Thai state. He said the security relationship is essential. The US and the state are working together to modernize the air force, and the US is committed to supporting this endeavor.
” We believe that the F-16 is a remarkable aircraft that is extremely competent. We are talking with the government, but I wo n’t go into any further details,” he said.
