UM's Diplomatic Affair: Courtesy Call with Indonesian Universities

The University of Mindanao (UM) recently played host to a delegation from prominent Indonesian universities, last March 6, 2024, with the aim of fostering stronger international relations. Faculty and students from partner schools, including Universitas Bhayangkara Jakarta Raya (UBJ) and State Islamic University Prof. K.H. Saifuddin Zuhri, Purwokerto, engaged in a series of activities aimed at cultural exchange and academic collaboration.

Led by UM President Dr. Guillermo P. Torres, Jr., the delegation was warmly received at the UM Matina campus, where they met with senior officials to discuss potential avenues for collaboration. Concurrently, a courtesy call at the Consulate General Republic of Indonesia further solidified diplomatic ties.

Such initiatives not only enrich the educational experience for UM students and faculty but also promote the sharing of expertise and resources, ultimately contributing to the advancement of research and innovation on a global scale. The collaboration between UM and Indonesian universities highlights the importance of international partnerships in addressing complex societal challenges and advancing knowledge across borders.
