On 24 June 2017, a delegation from the Royal Bhutanese Embassy in Bangkok led by H.E. Mr. Tshewang C. Dorji, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary paid a visit to Mae Fah Luang University to discuss academic collaboration between higher education institutions and governmental organisations.
Bhutan and Mae Fah Luang University have a long-standing relationship and have worked together for academic cooperation especially in the field of the Cosmetic Science for many years. In addition, MFU offers many scholarships for Bhutanese students and has assisted many Bhutanese students in becoming outstanding graduates. All in all, the discussion inspired both institutes to expand and further cooperation in other areas in order to meet the needs of people in both countries.
