Bangkok, May 20,\u00a0<\/strong>2013<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Hitachi Asia Ltd. today announced the university students selected to represent Thailand at the 12th Hitachi Young Leaders Initiative (HYLI). The event, which will be held in Bangkok from July 1 to 5, 2013, will bring together prominent regional opinion leaders from the private, public and academic sectors to discuss regional economic and social infrastructure issues and engage in dialogue with the student participants. The students will work together to present their ideas about how these issues can be addressed.<\/p>\n

The students chosen to represent Thailand are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Ms. Supatchaya Techachoochert, Mahidol University<\/li>\n
  2. Ms. Muendao Suandee, Thammasat University<\/li>\n
  3. Mr. Thermphong Intakaew, Chiang Mai University<\/li>\n
  4. Mr. Aekarak Sethi, Mahidol University<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    They were selected after passing a rigorous application and evaluation process that included a panel interview chaired by Dr. Vallop Suwandee, Former Deputy Governor of Bangkok Metropolitan Administration and President of Kasem Bundit University. Students from five universities — Chulalongkorn University, Thammasat University, Kasetsart University, Chiang Mai University and Mahidol University \u2013 were eligible to apply.<\/p>\n

    Mr. Yukio Toyoshima, Managing Director, Hitachi Asia Ltd. said, \u201cHYLI offers a unique opportunity for students to have their ideas heard by prominent leaders. The line-up of speakers for the 12th HYLI is comprised of some very prominent leaders from Thailand and around the region. We are gratified to once again receive support from these individuals who share our belief in grooming Asian youths with strong leadership potential.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Established by Hitachi, Ltd. in 1996, HYLI has brought together some of the best and brightest students in Asia. Each year, four outstanding students below the age of 28 are chosen to represent their country for the program. Currently, seven countries participate in HYLI: Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and Japan.<\/p>\n

    \u201cFor over a hundred years, Hitachi has maintained its role as a responsible corporate citizen. That commitment includes inspiring the next generation of leaders and HYLI is a key element in Hitachi\u2019s long-term corporate social responsibility efforts in the region,\u201d Mr. Toyoshima added.<\/p>\n

    12th HYLI theme focuses on ASEAN<\/strong><\/p>\n

    With AEC 2015 just two years away, a great deal of work remains to be done and some observers question the impact greater economic integration will bring. Connectivity will play a critical role in the continued success of the region. Accordingly, the theme of the 12th HYLI is\u00a0The Road Ahead: ASEAN\u2019s Role in Asia and the Global Economy<\/em>. An impressive line-up of speakers will convey their thoughts on two sub-themes:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Sub-theme 1: The ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) 2015: What can ASEAN really expect and Asia’s significance in the global economy<\/em><\/li>\n
    • Sub-theme 2: Connectivity: The driver of ASEAN competitiveness<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      From Thailand, Mr. Kittiratt Na Ranong, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, will be the guest of honour and will deliver the opening speech while Dr. Surin Pitsuwan, former Secretary General of ASEAN will give a keynote speech during the second day of the forum.
