Lu met Sama guess - Chong Wia, head of the delegation and Deputy Director of Social Development and Human Security of Thailand in the Thai Culture Chamber. Lu first gave a brief introduction of the school's profile. He mentioned that as an internationally-distinctive and high-level university, GDUFS has built up a close relationship with several Thai colleges and universities, including Bangkok University, since 1970 when setting up the Thai major at GDUFS. Also, China-Thailand relations have a long history and the "Sino-Thai family" is a well-known saying which perfectly confirms the close relationship between the two cultures. GDUFS hopes that this exchange visit will promote the development of the bilateral relations.

Sama guess - Chong Wia expressed that the Thai young people all enjoyed geting a taste of the profound Chinese ancient civilization during this exchange visit and they truly appreciated the lofty ideals that the older generation of Chinese people have handed down. In addition, they realized the crucial position China holds in the economy and politics among ASEAN countries. Not long ago, Deputy Chairman of the Federation of Thai teenagers had developed a cooperation framework of the Sino-Thai youth exchange visits, which would strengthen these visits in terms of education, moral education, culture and business talents. He believes that the youth from Thai universities and colleges will establish a profound friendship with the delegate students at GDUFS and both groups will devote themselves to the long-term development of China and Thailand.
