Datuk Ewe Hong Tat briefly introduced UTAR and the achievements of its educational cooperation with Chinese universities. He conveyed UTAR’s aspiration that this exchange would serve as a catalyst for exploring collaborative opportunities in mutually relevant fields, with the goal of fostering deep and practical partnerships.
The two universities conducted in-depth exchanges on jointly cultivating talents in fields such as food science, mechanical automation, and artificial intelligence, as well as exploring new models for joint education in agriculture and forestry-related disciplines.
