On September 12, 2025, Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Cawangan Negeri Sembilan, with its strategic industrial partners, International Future of Education Association (IFEA), and Taiwan Halal Certification Development Co., Ltd (THCD), conducted an academic visit to Zhengzhou E-commerce Vocational College, China. This successful academic visit was not just to further strengthen its international academic and industrial collaborations, but also to share knowledge and engage in cross-cultural activities. In conjunction with Malaysian Independence Day and Malaysia Day, UiTM delegates, including Ts. Dr. Aslizah Mohd Aris, Dr. Nordayana Zulkifli, Dr. Muhammad Aidil Ibrahim, Dr. Mohamad Hasif Jaafar, Dr. Siti Norazura Jamal, Dr. Mohd Asyran Safwan Kamaruzaman, Dr. Ong Woon Chuan, and Mrs. Masilah Mohamad took this opportunity to promote Malaysian culture by donning traditional attire, which caught the interest of the students and staff members.

The visit commenced with a campus tour that provided the UiTM delegation with valuable insights into the college’s facilities and learning environment. This was followed by a captivating cultural performance presented by Zhengzhou E-commerce Vocational College arts students, showcasing the richness of Chinese traditions and fostering deeper cultural appreciation between both institutions. These cultural activities really enhanced the impact of the academic visit and made it more unique.

UiTM lecturers also contributed to the academic exchange by delivering a guest lecture, sharing expertise and perspectives that enriched the learning experience of the host institution. An academic meeting was then held, attended by the College Chairman, Mr. Gao Qiang, where both parties discussed opportunities for future cooperation in areas such as academic mobility, joint programs, industrial linkages, knowledge sharing, and cultural exchange programs. The visit concluded with the signing of a Letter of Intent (LoI), symbolizing the commitment of UiTM, IFEA, and Zhengzhou E-commerce Vocational College to explore long-term partnerships.

The engagement reflects UiTM’s continuous efforts to expand its global network and promote meaningful academic and cultural exchanges in line with UiTM’s agenda, “Globally Renowned, Locally Rooted”. Wherever their pursuits may lead, their cultural heritage remains an enduring identity, embraced with dignity and pride.
