UNIDA Gontor –Universitas Darussalam (UNIDA) Gontor recently received a visit from overseas guests from Kazakhstan on Friday to Saturday, April 26-27, 2024. They were representatives from Al-Farabi Kazakh National University (KazNU) and Narxoz University Kazakhstan. The visit was a return visit from KazNU for the visit of the UNIDA Gontor delegation on February 28 when carrying out joint research. This is also a follow-up to the cooperative relationship that was signed on November 10, 2023. The delegation from Narxoz also attended the visit to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between UNIDA Gontor and Narxoz University which was held at the Rector’s Office, UNIDA Gontor Main Building.
The delegation participants in the visit included Nurmagambetova Azhar Zeinullaevna, Ph.D., Head of the Department of Finance and Accounting, and Kurbanova Karlygash Abdullayevna, Ph.D., Senior Lecturer in Finance from KazNU. Also, Assoc. Prof. Nurgalieva Aliya Miyazdenovna, Ph.D., Lecturer in Accounting and Auditing (EP “Accounting and Audit”) from Narxoz University.
The visit was warmly welcomed by the Rector of UNIDA Gontor, Prof. Dr. K.H. Hamid Fahmy Zarkasyi, M.A.Ed., M.Phil. and his staff in a dinner at Resto UNIDA Inn. Not only to UNIDA Gontor Central Campus, they also visited Pondok Modern Darussalam Gontor the day before, and then filled the seminar “Trends and Development of Islamic Finance: Issues and Challenges” scheduled for UNIDA Gontor Campus C Mantingan students on Monday (29/4/2024).
In addition to academic visits, the guests from Kazakhstan also plan to travel to Bali. In connection with that, the Rector recommended several hotels owned by alumni of Pondok Modern Darussalam Gontor. Their trip was accompanied by one of the UNIDA Gontor lecturers until their return to Kazakhstan. The warm welcome they received left its own impression. In the testimonials written in the guest book, they hope that the cooperation between UNIDA Gontor with KazNU and Narxoz University can continue to run well.
This activity is certainly not a new thing in the dynamics of UNIDA Gontor. The academic community in it will continue to try to develop cooperative relationships in various domains, in particular, to various campuses in the world. This is an effort to realize Trimurti’s ideals to make UNIDA Gontor a quality and meaningful university, which is internationally recognized or World Class University.
