During the discussions, they shared information and explored potential research collaborations and student exchange programs. In terms of joint research, it was proposed to shift the data collection cities to Yangon and Bangkok instead of locations near the border between the two countries, given the current precarious situation. KU also requested the names of the main coordinators in Myanmar to facilitate future collaborations.

Furthermore, during a roadshow event, the Vice President for International Affairs and lecturers actively promoted KU and extended invitations to students at ConceptX International School who were interested in studying at KU. The students received comprehensive information about KU's curricula for their consideration.
