"They also involve various activities, including student and academic exchange programmes, industrial training, joint research projects and the development of academic programmes in line with industry needs," it said.
According to KPT, several business matching sessions were also coordinated by bringing together 11 Malaysian IPTs and 20 foreign companies.

With the theme, 'Study in Malaysia', the Malaysian Higher Education Week at Expo 2025 Osaka was rich with impactful content and strategic collaborations, reflecting the KPT's commitment to strengthening international partnerships and promoting the globalisation of Malaysia's higher education sector.
Efforts to promote Malaysia as a destination of choice for international students are the main focus of KPT's participation at the Malaysia Pavilion.
One of the main initiatives highlighted was the Edutourism programme, which combines education and tourism through 168 packages offered by 55 partners. These packages span 11 main categories, including culture, heritage, food, and travel.

Nurul Izzah Calls On Bangladesh Interim Government Chief
WORLD By Shakir Husain NEW DELHI, July 27 (Bernama) -- Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) deputy president Nurul Izzah Anwar called on Bangladesh interim leader Muhammad Yunus in Dhaka on Sunday. Yunus, during the meeting, sought Malaysia's support for Bangladesh to join the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). "We want to become a part of ASEAN, and we will need your support," he told Nurul Izzah, according to a Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha report. Bangladesh applied to become an ASEAN sectoral dialogue partner in 2020. Yunus also invited Malaysian companies to invest in Bangladesh's growing economy. "Asia is ageing rapidly, but Bangladesh has a lot of young people. Half of our population is under the age of 27. Set up your industries here and export from Bangladesh. It will help both our economies," he said. The interim government's chief advisor informed the PKR deputy chief about Bangladesh's political reforms following last year's uprising, which ended Sheikh Hasina's nearly 16-year rule. Nurul Izzah spoke at Dhaka University on Sunday at a conference marking the first anniversary of the July Revolution.
