The agreement was reached during a meeting between the Indonesian Deputy Minister of Higher Education, Science and Technology, Stella Christie, and the Ambassador of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan to Jakarta, Sudqi Atallah Abd Alkader Al Omoush.

Both parties agreed to create a joint working group tasked with developing a roadmap, defining priority programs, and ensuring the participation of public and private universities from both countries.

The cooperation will encompass student and faculty exchanges, joint research projects, and strengthening institutional capacities in medical education, as well as training opportunities for healthcare personnel.

Indonesian authorities highlighted Jordan’s experience as a regional center for high-level medical training, while the Jordanian side expressed the full willingness of its universities to expand academic partnerships.

The initiative strengthens bilateral relations between Indonesia and Jordan, established in 1950, and aligns with the Indonesian government’s efforts to improve the quality of its human capital.
