Princess Sirindhorn had in - depth exchanges with nine Thai students studying at the college and encouraged them to study hard. As the head of the Thai Red Cross and the Red Cross Nursing College, she paid special attention to the nursing students, saying, "Our cooperation has been very fruitful."

Many of them continue to work hard after returning to Thailand and achieve good results and significant progress. "On this occasion, I hope both sides can exchange views in - depth and further strengthen cooperation, enabling more Thai students to study here," she said.
Besides nursing, Princess Sirindhorn was also interested in cooking skills. Seeing the Sichuan and Thai dishes made by students in the cooking major, she was very pleased. She said that the teachers sent to Thailand for exchanges by the college "cook delicious Sichuan food and also make authentic Thai dishes after learning them in Thailand."
