Sarawak Trade and Tourism Office Singapore (STATOS) in facilitating the visit said the delegation comprised five personnel from the International Relations Department, School of Business, School of Design, as well as School of Humanities and Social Sciences.
‘The primary objective of this visit was to evaluate potential venues for organising student trips to Sarawak and establish collaborative ties with esteemed institutions such as Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS), Swinburne University of Technology and the Ministry of Education, Innovation and Talent Development Sarawak,’ STATOS said in a statement today.
The visit focused on exploring collaboration opportunities with government agencies and identifying suitable venues for larger student groups, came as a follow up to a trip in May, where Temas
