The Hong Kong-Thailand Business Council has been instrumental in bringing together the partners for a joint venture that will bring English language educational programs to business professionals in Thailand.

The two partners are Canada-based Pacific Education Group, whose managing director is HKTBC-member Andrew Chan, and Kluaynamthai Hospital Group, whose managing director is Sranyoo Chanate.

The JV will initially deliver specially developed English programs to nurses and health care staff at Kluaynamthai Hospital's training school. The curriculum will also be marketed to other local hospitals, and the JV plans to develop a similar program aimed at banking and insurance industry professionals.

Bernard Chan, Chairman of the HKTBC, said the Council was pleased to have been able to play a part in bringing the two partnerships together, and he looked forward to seeing more Council members and other parties find new opportunities through cooperation and partnership.
