Bangkok, Thailand, 6 October 2020 – Prudential Life Assurance (Thailand) Public Company Limited (“Prudential Thailand”) and the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to financially support the UK Government’s Chevening Scholarship Scheme. The MoU was signed by Mr. Robin Spencer, Chief Executive Officer of Prudential Thailand and Ms. Alexandra McKenzie, Deputy Head of Mission of the British Embassy Bangkok at the pre-departure reception organised for the Chevening scholars which took place at the JW Marriott Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand.
