A key highlight of the meeting was the discussion on the preparation for establishing a Joint Office between the two institutions at the Faculty of Interdisciplinary Studies, Khon Kaen University.

Further discussions also covered future initiatives, including opportunities for students of the Demonstration School of Khon Kaen University, Nong Khai Campus, particularly in Chinese language learning, participation in international cultural activities, and pathways toward future academic collaboration projects. Discussions also touched upon possibilities such as joint curriculum development, cultural exchange activities, cooperative education, and international research funding applications.

 This visit marked another milestone in the enduring partnership between Khon Kaen University and Guangxi University of Foreign Languages, paving the way for deeper academic collaboration, cultural understanding, and sustainable international cooperation in the years ahead.
