Ma’an, Sept. 13 (Petra) – Al-Hussein Bin Talal University (AHU)
President Ateef Kharabsheh met with a Turkish academic delegation on
Sunday to discuss expanding academic and research partnerships
between Jordanian and Turkish universities.

Discussions focused on implementing outcomes from a recent official
visit to Ankara and Istanbul by Education Minister Azmi Mahafzah and

international partnerships, noting that global collaboration creates
new opportunities for students, faculty, and researchers.

To mark the visit, Kharabsheh presented the Turkish delegation with
the university shield.
