On this memorable occasion and in recognition of 15 years of co-operation in the organisation of eight successful international conferences, Mr Prapruetdee received a Certificate of Appreciation from the World Institute for Engineering and Technology Education (WIETE), bestowed upon him by Professor Zenon J. Pudlowski, the WIETE Director.

The citation read out by the WIETE Director mentioned the successful co-operation and noted the ...provision of excellent facilities; support in the organisation of outstanding social functions and events; and resolution of administrative problems always with a smile and traditional Thai kindness.
