Minister of National Education, Vocational Training, Higher Education and Scientific Research, Government Spokesman, Saaid Amzazi, and Minister Delegate in charge of Higher Education and Scientific Research, Driss Ouaouicha, had a working meeting, Monday in Rabat, with diplomats from Asian countries focused on ways to strengthen bilateral and multilateral relations in areas related to the system of education, training, higher education and scientific research.
According to a statement from the Ministry of National Education, Vocational Training, Higher Education and Scientific Research, the meeting was attended by ambassadors and chargés d’affaires representing several countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), namely Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, Vietnam and the Philippines.
Stronger partnerships between Moroccan universities, training institutions and research structures and their counterparts in ASEAN countries were also discussed during this meeting, particularly with regard to the exchange of experiences and expertise and support for the mobility of students and professors, as well as the co-supervision of doctoral theses, the same source added.
Given the Kingdom’s interest in South-South cooperation and in the region of Southeast Asia in particular, Morocco is the first African and Arab country to join, on September 6, 2016, the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation in Southeast Asia (TAC) with the ambition of establishing effective and institutionalized relations with these countries, it added.
Some 100 students from Southeast Asian countries are pursuing their university studies in Morocco’s public institutions of higher education for the academic year 2019-2020.
