Dr. Zeidan Kafafi, president of YU, met a delegation from El-Hikam Consultant Center (ECC) in Indonesia, headed by the Director General, Masroohan bin Khatib. The two sides discussed means and ways of cooperation.

During the meeting, Kafafi stressed the keenness of YU to cooperate with various educational institutions around the world, including Islamic countries in East Asia, pointing that YU have signed many cooperation agreements with Indonesian universities in terms of teaching Arabic, Sharia and Islamic studies, which reflects the role of YU in serving Arabic language and in the dissemination of Islamic teachings.
