The Malaysian American Commission on Educational Exchange can play a pivotal role in directing collaborative research efforts towards technology and innovation, aligning seamlessly with Malaysia’s vision of becoming a nation renowned for its innovation, development and sustainability, said Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir.
His keynote was read out by Higher Education Ministry deputy secretary-general Datuk Dr Megat Sany Megat Ahmad Supian. The US Ambassador to Malaysia, Edgard D. Kagan, who is also co-chair for MACEE, stated during the event that educational exchanges are truly a partnership as they create the people-to-people ties and institutional linkages that bring long term benefits.
As ambassadors of goodwill and cooperation, their work further fortifies the mutual respect and collaboration between Malaysia and US, he added.
