M'sia ready to expand student exchange programmes with Russia, says Khaled

KAZAN (RUSSIA): Malaysia is ready to expand student exchange programmes with Russian universities, but mutual recognition of diplomas should be introduced first to give Russian and Malaysian students an incentive to study in both countries, Mohamed Khaled Nordin told news agency Sputnik.

"We are open to that," the Higher Education Minister said on the sidelines of the 14th International Economic Forum "Russia - Islamic World: KazanForum" when asked whether Malaysia planned to expand student exchange programmes with Russian universities.
