Dr. Prasert remarked that AIT alumni are increasingly occupying key
positions within Asia and the Pacific. “I am always enthused at the
competency of AIT graduates and am very proud to say that my TEAM group
has more than 50 AIT graduates,” he said. Dr. Prasert gave AIT credit
for his success stating that “This institute (AIT) taught me
appropriate knowledge for the development and use of technology for
solving the many key problems of Asia.” He remarked that studying at
AIT helps a student create regional networks where they can share views
as well as experience.
He suggested a more integrated Asia so that the continent can claim
its place in the “family of nations”. Expansion of infrastructure and
uplifting of human capital in less well-developed countries of Asia
would help distribute benefits from regional economic integration more
widely across Asia, he added. Asia has a bright future ahead and its
people are determined to effect change for the better. “That change
will require the talent of those here today – AIT graduates,” he
added.
