A significant quote by Malaysia’s former Prime Minister
At the Plenary Session of the 2nd (ACD) Summit Meeting

“In Malaysia’s journey of nation building, we have learned that developing human capital is one of the key factors that contribute towards national progress, social development and economic growth. In this regard, we warmly support the ACD pillar on education and human resource development being given special emphasis. The pillar aims to open up possibilities for our peoples by reducing poverty, raising living standards, and capitalising on labour skills.
Malaysia is aware of the diversity and the different stages of development in higher education among the ACD Member States. As a co-prime mover of the education and human resource development pillar, Malaysia reaffirms our commitment to developing the Asia e University into a major educational platform which will enhance people-to-people connectivity among the ACD Member States.
Since its beginning in 2008, AeU has enrolled around 2350 international students from 60 countries, and has established partnerships in 25 countries. Through the AeU platform, institutions of higher learning in Asia will be able to leverage on each others’ resources and facilities. And via AeU Open and Distance Learning programmes, students from across the ACD Member States will be able to enjoy high quality, affordable, accessible and relevant courses.”
