Ho Chi Minh City, April 24, 2026 – SCG, in collaboration with Thailand’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Thailand International Cooperation Agency (TICA), the Royal Thai Consulate–General in Ho Chi Minh City, and Thai entrepreneurs officially inaugurated the Thai Pavilion – Sufficiency Economy Philosophy Learning Center at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities – Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City.

This project marks a significant milestone towards the 50th anniversary of Vietnam – Thailand diplomatic relations (1976 – 2026).

A bridge for knowledge and culture between Vietnam and Thailand

As part of the broader “Thai Garden Development Project” at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, the Pavilion brings the Sufficiency Economy Philosophy (SEP) and New Theory Agriculture – concepts initiated by His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great – to life through intuitive, visual models that students can easily understand and apply.

Through real examples from Vietnam, the Pavilion helps students see how sustainable practices can be applied in everyday life.

Strengthening Public–Private Partnership

As a strategic partner, SCG provided financial support and ensured the construction met high standards by using premium, sustainable materials. This collaboration reflects the “Embrace Collaboration” pillar of SCG’s ESG 4 Plus strategy, which focuses on placing people at the heart of development.

Sharing the significance of the project, Mr. Praween Wirotpan, General Director of SCG Vietnam, stated: “As we approach the 50th anniversary of Vietnam – Thailand relations, this Pavilion reflects our long-term commitment to Vietnam. Beyond a learning space, it equips students with practical knowledge to navigate real-world challenges and contribute to a more resilient and sustainable future.”

This project underscores SCG’s long-term commitment to supporting Vietnam’s sustainable development, by investing in people, knowledge, and future generations.
