Ms. Ilse Lilian Ferrer Silva, Ambassador of Mexico to Thailand; Dr. Adalberto Noyola Robles, Director of the Representative Office of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) in China; and Mr. Pablo Mendoza Ruiz, Academic and Cultural Coordinator of UNAM in China, at the reception room on the 2nd floor of Chamchuri 4 Building.
