His
Royal Highness Crown Prince Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck arrived at Arthit
Ourairat Building of Rangsit University around 11.30 am where after resting
for awhile and had lunch, changed his suit to the graduation gown provided
by RSU at the reception room of the 11th floor.
He then proceeded to Nantankan
Building through the royal golf cart together with H.E. Air Vice Marshal
Kamthon Sindhvananda, University Council President and Dr. Arthit Ourairat,
President of Rangsit University in order to formally receive the honorary
doctorate degree and provide royal words of inspiration to the graduating
students. Excerpts of HRH speech are provided here as follows: |
|
"I
am truly grateful to all of you for inviting me here today. But from the
beginning, I must say that this doctorate, like the privileged of receiving
the warm affection of so many Thai people, is an honor that I feel I do
not deserve. The affection you have shown me, though unexpected, is deeply
cherished. I feel humbled and can only hope I can begin to earn it by being
a good human being and a better servant to my own country and to the people
of the world.
Now,
let me begin by talking about Thailand. Whenever I travel to any country,
I always try and observe what future of that particular nation is likely
to be. How successful or how difficult and why? I do this because there
is so much that I can learn from other countries, their people, their culture
and their experiences.
