KAZAN (Russia), May 20 — Malaysia is ready to expand student exchange programmes with Russian universities, but mutual recognition of diplomas should be introduced first to give Russian and Malaysian students an incentive to study in both countries, Malaysian Education Minister Mohamed Khaled Nordin told Sputnik.
“We are open to that,” Mohamed Khaled said on the sidelines of the 14th International economic forum “Russia — Islamic World: KazanForum” when asked whether Malaysia plans to expand student exchange programmes with Russian universities.
He added that Malaysia “has Student Mobility Programme and at the moment, the country has many universities from all over the world that are already participating in it and sending their students to Malaysia.”
“We welcome, especially in summer, Russian students in Malaysia ... We want more Russian students to come to Malaysia,” the minister said.
At the same time, he noted that the countries should sign an agreement on mutual recognition of diplomas.
“We also agree that there should be understanding and agreement between the two countries because one of the important areas, in which we can address (this issue) by having these agreements, is on mutual recognition (of diplomas) ... And this will pave the way for more students to come either to Russia or Russian students to continue their studies in Malaysia. Without this mutual recognition there can be limitations,” Mohamed Khaled said.
Additionally, the minister said that many students from Malaysia are studying in Russia “especially in the field of medicine and pharmacy, as well as engineering,” adding that they are grateful for this opportunity.
“We (Malaysia) are grateful that we have this opportunity. We have very strong relations in higher education between the two countries. Firstly, there are many collaborations between our universities and Russian universities. We hope this can continue,” he said.
Besides, the Malaysian minister said that earlier in the day he had a meeting on future prospects for cooperation with Russian Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education Airat Gatiyatov.
The forum took place in the Russian city of Kazan from May 18-19. Mohamed Khaled and Malaysian Minister of Agriculture and Food Security Mohamad Sabu attended the forum and agreed to hold a series of meetings with Russian representatives to boost cooperation in various areas, including education, trade, and tourism. — Bernama-Sputnik

University exchanges with RusZia ?
ReplyDeleteHow stupid can this minister get ?
Learn how to be Cannon fodder ?
Wakakaka…In what way?
DeleteAs in the unquestionably followings of the demoNcratic anmokausai educations u so admired!
Mfer, just look at itself in yr cracked mirror lah.
Some real-life practical problems facing anyone trying to remit money from Malaysia to RuZia.
ReplyDeleteEven though, officially, publicly, Malaysia has refused to participate in G7 imposed economic sanctions against Russia, in reality , NO Malaysian commercial bank, , Maybank, CIMB , Public Bank, Hong Leong, AmBank, RHB, Alliance etc , etc, etc, will touch any money transfer to or from RuZia.
The legal and reputational risk to these banks if they get sanctioned by USA or EU or UK governments are too great for them to risk it.
If , for example, CIMB or Maybank got sanctioned by Washington or London over RuZia transactions, the next morning, their share price on the Bursa Malaysia will crash faster than the wreckage of Malaysia Airlines MH17 , when it was shot down by a RuZian SAM Missile .
It seems Malaysia has completely forgotten the tragedy of the murder of the passengers and crew of MH17 over territory controlled by RuZian-backed separatists in Ukraine.
Ooop… missiles fired from a Russia sympathetic factions occupied area must be coming from them supporters!
DeleteWhat a fart logic.
Just likening to all buildings destroyed by missiles in Russian occupied territories r been done by the Russians themselves!
One guy I know who does business with RuZia, and cannot avoid it, does it in a complex and costly way.
ReplyDeleteHe pays a China intermediary, who then pays the RuZian principal, and the other way round.
The agreed exchange rate is bad, and the intermediaries obviously take their lucrative "cut" from it.
Wakakakaka…
DeleteHave u ever asked him WHY he still games to do those deals?
Communist sympathiser?
Or humongous profit margin too attractive to avoid?
