UPNVJ Public Relations – Veteran National Development University Jakarta (UPNVJ) is exploring collaboration opportunities with 20 state universities (PTN) in Malaysia through a meeting with representatives of the Malaysian Embassy in Jakarta. The visit aims to strengthen the university's internationalization, particularly in academics, faculty, students, and alumni, to support UPNVJ's vision of becoming a globally superior university.
The meeting took place in the Nusantara 3 UPNVJ Meeting Room on Friday (3/10/2025). The Malaysian delegation was led by Education Advisor Shafieza binti Mohd Fadzil, accompanied by Education Attaché Zulfadhli bin Hamzah, Malaysian Embassy Staff Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah, and Promotion Executive Riska Paramita.
The facilitation was provided by the UPNVJ Office of International Affairs (KUI), with the presence of the dean, vice dean, and representatives from the Learning Development and Quality Assurance Institute (LPMPP) and the Research and Community Service Institute (LPPM). The presence of these various work units was intended to directly identify and map out collaboration opportunities aligned with UPNVJ's internationalization goals.
On this occasion, Zulfadhli bin Hamzah explained the forms of cooperation opportunities that could be established, namely in four main areas, namely:

- Students: student exchanges, industrial training programs, leadership training, cultural exchanges, community projects, and scholarship opportunities.
- Alumni: a shared alumni network.
Zulfadhli also emphasized that this collaboration is expected to not only be limited to academic cooperation, but also expand the scope of edutourism, providing greater benefits for participants from both countries.
