On November 21, 2019, the Center for Chinese Business Studies (CCBS) of the University of Kitakyushu signed the MOU on Academic Exchange with the Center for China and Globalizing Asian Studies (CCGA) of Mahidol University in Thailand.
Established in 1943 as Thailand’s first university of medical science, Mahidol University is the leading university in Thailand with 16 faculties, 9 research institutes, 5 colleges and 5 centers at 4 campuses including Bangkok.
