THE military coup in Thailand could delay a donation for millions of pounds in grants to fund scholarships and a lectureship at the centre for Buddhist Studies in Oxford.
Thailand's Deputy Prime Minister, Suwat Liptapanlop, visited Oxford only last month to see for himself how a pledged £5m investment would be used. The centre was waiting for a final confirmation.
Centre director Geoffrey Bamford said: "We now expect some delay in the implementation of the package. However, the Thai Oxford Partnership has and always will be a key element of the Oxford centre and various other collaborative ventures are being planned."
