Mr. Muhammad Absor, Secretary of the Rector at State Islamic University of Sultan Syarif Kasim Riau (UIN Suska Riau), Indonesia, together with four students visited PSU on August 5, 2015. The objectives of his visit were to introduce the UIN Suska Riau students who would like to pursue their studies at PSU, to learn more about PSU international programs, and to explore possibilities to develop the cooperation between the two universities. The friendship between the two universities was reaffirmed in March 2015, when the Memorandum of Understanding between UIN Suska Riau and PSU was renewed.
The distinguished visitors were welcomed by Asst. Prof. Dr. Pattara Aiyarak, Vice President for Global Relations and Informatics; Mr. Suphawatchara Malanond, Vice Dean at the PSU Faculty of Law, and representatives from the PSU International Affairs Office.
Regarding the collaborative activities, a student exchange program was already initiated, with four UIN Suska Riau students studying at the PSU College of Islamic Studies from August 2015 to January 2016. In the same way, the PSU College of Islamic Studies plans to send some students to study at UIN Suska Riau in the near future. Other possible joint activities discussed are staff exchange and teaching staff internship.
