On January 25, 2024, Professor Salwa Rashad, Dean of the Faculty of Al-Alsun, Ain Shams University (ASU) in Egypt, visited Hiroshima University (HU) and engaged in a meeting with HU President Mitsuo Ochi. HU Executive Vice President for Global Initiatives, Shinji Kaneko, was also in attendance.
During the meeting, opinions were exchanged on strengthening exchange and cooperation between the two universities.

HU signed an inter-university international exchange agreement with ASU in 2015. The two universities have been making efforts to promote exchanges, with ASU participating as a collaborative university in HU’s “Triangular Study Abroad Program for Reciprocal Partnership with North and Sub-Saharan Africa” selected by MEXT in 2020 as part of the Inter-University Exchange Project (Type A: Africa), and with HU sending its students to ASU through the START Program, one of its unique short-term overseas study programs.
Furthermore, in August 2023, Prof. Dr. Mamdouh Eldamaty of ASU visited HU, gave a lecture and held a talk session with HU President Ochi at a symposium for HU's 75+75th Anniversary Project, "Hiroshima and Egypt: Two Oriental Worlds Weaving Memories and Creating a Peaceful Future".

HU has signed 13 inter-university international exchange agreements with 8 institutions and 4 inter-faculty international exchange agreements with 4 institutions in Egypt. Currently, there are 24 students from Egypt studying at HU. This courtesy visit is expected to promote exchange with universities and research institutions in Egypt, including ASU.
