Hiroshima University seeks academic partnership with Dhaka University

A delegation from Hiroshima University recently visited the University of Dhaka to explore future academic ties. Led by Professor Md Moshiur Rahman, the group met with Vice-Chancellor Professor ABM Obaidul Islam. Both sides discussed plans for collaboration, including a memorandum of understanding (MoU) expected to be signed soon. The four-member delegation included Akiko Watanabe, Yuka Iuada, and Kokoro Kamitani alongside Professor Rahman. During the meeting, Vice-Chancellor Islam provided an overview of Dhaka University's history and academic programmes. He also expressed appreciation for the delegation's interest in the institution.

The discussions focused on potential joint research projects and academic exchanges. While no prior collaborations between the two universities were recorded, the talks covered student and teacher exchanges as well as research partnerships. Both sides showed enthusiasm for strengthening ties through formal agreements. Professor Rahman highlighted the importance of cooperation in education and research. The planned MoU aims to establish a framework for future initiatives between the universities.

The visit marks the first formal step toward collaboration between the two institutions. If signed, the MoU will enable exchanges of students, teachers, and researchers. This could lead to joint academic programmes and research projects in the future.
