On Tuesday, May 16, 2023, the Unisba International Affairs Office Team conducted a productive meeting at the Embassy of Malaysia in Jakarta, located on Jl. H.R. Rasuna Said Kav.X/6, No. 1-3 Kuningan, South Jakarta. The team had the opportunity to engage in discussions with Mr. Mohd Mubarak Shamsuddin, Counsellor (Education) of Education Malaysia Indonesia, representing the Embassy of Malaysia in Jakarta, as well as other representatives from the Malaysian Ambassador’s office who were unable to attend.
The primary focus of the meeting revolved around exploring future collaboration prospects between Unisba and Malaysia. Among the key topics addressed were the potential for cooperation in the Halal Industry and the developing of a comprehensive halal ecosystem. Efforts were also made to reignite collaborative initiatives that were temporarily halted due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, with a solid commitment to fostering new avenues of cooperation.
Throughout the meeting, various pertinent issues were discussed, including the experiences and challenges faced by the Malaysian community residing in Indonesia and reciprocal considerations for Indonesian individuals in Malaysia. Additionally, the gathering delved into the common forms of cooperation typically undertaken by Indonesian universities with Malaysian counterparts. Notably, the role of Unisba in advancing Indonesia-Malaysia cooperation in the future was emphasized, with a shared vision for enhanced partnerships between the two nations.
We thank Mr. Mohd Mubarak Shamsuddin and the Embassy of Malaysia in Jakarta for their warm reception and meaningful discussions. We look forward to further cultivating our relationship and propelling collaborative endeavors between Unisba and Malaysia.
