On March 29, the Inauguration Ceremony for the Cambodia MoEYS-Hiroshima University Collaboration Center was held at the Directorate General of Higher Education, Ministry of Education, Youth, and Sport (MoEYS).

Among the participants at the ceremony were Cambodia’s Minister of Education, the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Japan to Cambodia, Cambodian government officials, university representatives of our partner institutions in Cambodia, and Dr. Makoto Miyatani, Executive and Vice President of Hiroshima University. Dr. Miyatani said in his address at the ceremony, “We believe that the future promotion of our academic exchanges with the MoEYS as well as with higher education institutions in Cambodia will be an important mission for all of us. We are convinced that this newly established center will directly serve the purpose and play a pivotal role in supporting the university’s activities in Cambodia.”

Hiroshima University and the MoEYS have concluded a Memorandum of Understanding for Academic Exchanges and Cooperation on March 2016, which led to the establishment of this new center.

With the opening of this center, Hiroshima University will promote further academic and student exchanges, aiming to develop into the University of World-wide Repute and Splendor for Years into the Future.
