For Ambassador of Japan to Thailand,
HE Seiji Kojima, his country’s support to AIT for educational and
academic activities has contributed to the development of Asia at
large.
Hosting a function for Japanese Government Scholarship Recipients at
AIT on 25 May 2012, the ambassador said AIT master and doctoral level
graduates from around Asia have been playing an active role in various
fields in their home countries for years. These activities have raised
AIT’s reputation as an important contributor to regional development
through human resources development.
Congratulating twenty-two (out of a total of 29 scholarship
awardees) AIT Japanese Government Scholarship recipients from Cambodia,
Pakistan, Vietnam, Thailand, India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Indonesia and
Myanmar, Ambassador Kojima looked forward to the young scholars
eventually being a “driving force for development” following their
graduation.
“History shows that a nation can prosper without natural resources,
but never prospers on a sustainable basis without human resources,”
Ambassador Kojima said. “This grant programme has a direct impact on
the promotion of human resources in research and development of science
and technology as well as social and economic development in this
region.”

The ambassador also expressed his hope that Japan would be able to
continue to support the activities of AIT. “Japan would like to further
contribute to the evolution of the AIT and the development of this
region as a whole,” he said.
Ambassador Kojima also requested the scholarship recipients from
nine Asian countries to help to maintain a bridge of friendship between
their home country, Thailand and Japan.
