On 2 May 2025, we were honored to receive a delegation from the Judicial Training Institute of the Kingdom of Thailand. The delegation was led by Ms. Muntharee Ujjin, Vice- President of the Supreme Court, Mr. Pongratana Cruecrin, President of the Labour Case Division of the Supreme Court, Ms. Pakittah Nipawan Chotkittikul, who is currently serving as a Judge of Chaiyaphum Provincial Court and Ms. Jeeranun Hirunyasumlith, who is the Executive Director of the Thai Trade Center at the Royal Thai Consulate General Frankfurt office. We were also honored to have two very special guests at this visit: Prof. Dr. Moritz Bälz from the Faculty of Law of Goethe University, who focuses on Japanese and comparative business law as well as on tort liability and dispute resolution, and Prof. Zhiqiang Wang, former Dean of Fudan University Law School in Shanghai.
Dr. Rolf Friedewald, the ILF’s Managing Director, extended a cordial welcome to the delegation. On behalf of the delegation, Ms. Muntharee Ujjin expressed gratitude for the opportunity to visit the ILF and conveyed the delegation's interest in learning from Germany's successful experiences. Following this, Dr. Friedewald provided a brief introduction to Goethe University, the ILF and the LL.M. International Finance program.
During the second part of the visit, Mr. Stefan Nießner from the Deutsche Bundesbank (German Central Bank) and an ILF Lecturer delivered an insightful presentation on "ESG Risks and Banking Supervision".
