Prof. Sazzli specifically expressed his willingness to contribute directly to the planning and development process and perhaps also in the form of consultation during the planning and establishment of the Unila RSPTN. UiTM, as the coordinator of the University Network (Uninet) program which is part of the Indonesia, Malaysia Thailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT) collaboration initiative, is also willing to support Unila in organizing the Uprime or University Presidential Meeting scheduled to be held in November 2023.
Dr. Ayi said that the Unila team’s visit to UiTM was a form of realization of the cooperation that had been established at the previous meeting, when UiTM visited Unila. Apart from holding meetings with UiTM, the Unila Chancellor and her team also visited two of the 10 Unila lecturers who were studying doctoral studies at UiTM.
