Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn subsequently spoke the following to the graduates: 
 
“All graduates likely realize that communication is extremely important for life today. The progress of communication science and innovation is exceedingly rapid, and people can now communicate easily and quickly. This has made our world seem small. Information is also broadcasted widely, benefitting the economy, medicine, public health, and education. However, we cannot deny that negative effects also often arise, such as fake news, distorted information and that this information could be misconstrued to negative effects. All well-trained graduates should remain well-aware of this and emphasize discriminating the correct from the incorrect, truth from untruth, and discover what is real. All graduates must be aware of communication and use communication creatively with good intentions to benefit themselves, society, and the nation. If all graduates follow these practices, it will support society and the nation’s peaceful happiness, and stable sustainability.”
