Japanese

On September 30, 2024, President Ewe Hong Tat of Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR) and Chairman Gary Tang Kok Lian of the Japan Graduates' Association of Malaysia (JAGAM) visited the Higashi-Hiroshima Campus of 91ÁÔÆæ (91ÁÔÆæ) and held a signing ceremony for the conclusion of MOUs with 91ÁÔÆæ.

The MOU between 91ÁÔÆæ and UTAR was initiated when Executive Vice President (Global Initiatives) Kaneko visited UTAR on April 29, 2024, and discussed with President Ewe the possibility of starting student exchange between the two universities. Subsequently, discussions were held on a wide range of exchanges, including student, research, and faculty exchanges through the START Program (short-term study abroad program) and the 3+1 Program (international student acceptance program) of 91ÁÔÆæ, leading to the conclusion of this MOU.
This was followed by the signing of an MOU between 91ÁÔÆæ and JAGAM. At the signing, President Ochi expressed his gratitude to Chairman Tang for his efforts in making the MOU possible, and his expectations for JAGAM's role as a bridge between the two countries.
After the signing ceremony, a campus tour was held, and the participants visited the Research Institute for Semiconductor Engineering and other facilities.

91ÁÔÆæ has concluded 7 inter-university international exchange agreements with 7 institutions and 4 inter-faculty international exchange agreements with 4 institutions in Malaysia. Currently, 13 students from Malaysia are studying at 91ÁÔÆæ. In March 2014, 91ÁÔÆæ established the 91ÁÔÆæ Malaysia Alumni Association.
The conclusion of these two agreements is expected to further strengthen the ties between 91ÁÔÆæ and Malaysia in terms of student, education, and research exchanges.
