AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): During his visit to Africa, Dr. Saeed Jazari Mamoui, President of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) International University, met with Prof. J. Julius Ogang, a vice president of the University of Nairobi.
“The University of Nairobi is one of the prestigious universities in Africa, and it has a special position due to its relations with various universities in Europe, Asia, East and Southwest Africa,” he told AhlulBayt (a.s.) International News Agency – ABNA, about this meeting.
Emphasizing the necessity of interaction between the two universities, Jazari stated, “Due to the variety of fields and faculties, as well as the presence of students with different nationalities, the University of Nairobi is valuable for all universities in Iran.”
“For interaction and cooperation, the two universities will face difficulties in exchanging students and professors and inter-university agreements and understandings for degrees. However, I believe that we should take steps in the direction of constructive interaction,” expressed the President of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) International University.
Emphasizing the significance of mutual understanding, he said, “For constructive interaction between Iran and Kenya, we need to establish a mutual understanding of the culture and thoughts of the two countries. Islamic Iran and its culture are not known for Kenya, and Iran does not have sufficient knowledge of Kenya’s capacities.”
“In this regard, I met with the officials of the University of Nairobi. The first step for this interaction should be taken for mutual understanding of the culture of Islamic Iran and Kenya, and this action should start with the officials of the two universities. In the next phase, AhlulBayt (a.s.) International University announced its readiness to enroll Kenyan students at different levels and create research opportunities,” Jazari added.
“Our focus is not only on academic and academic activities, but we can also consider cultural fields and academic culture,” said the President of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) International University in the end.
