We, the Executive Members of IIUM Alumni Bangladesh Chapter (2026–2028), had the privilege to meet and convey our greetings to the Honorable High Commissioner of Malaysia to Bangladesh. We also had fruitful discussions with the EMGS authorities regarding alumni cooperation and future collaborative initiatives. They emphasized the importance of building a unified platform for all Malaysian university alumni in Bangladesh to strengthen networking, engagement, and mutual opportunities.
We are especially proud and grateful to meet Prof. Dato' Dr. Fauzan Bin Noordin, Deputy Rector of IIUM and Director of IIIT for East and Southeast Asia. It was truly inspiring to exchange views with such an esteemed academic leader.
We sincerely appreciate the efforts of all organizers and stakeholders for arranging such a meaningful and impactful gathering that will undoubtedly contribute to stronger academic and alumni relations between Bangladesh and Malaysia.
