UNIVERSITI Islam Sultan Sharif Ali (UNISSA) yesterday received a visit from the Ambassador of the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste to Brunei Darussalam, Marcal Avelino Ximenes.

The ambassador accompanied by the Deputy Chief of Mission of Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste to Brunei Darussalam, Erminio da Silva Pinto, was welcomed by the Rector of UNISSA, Dr Haji Norarfan bin Haji Zainal.

The visit was to explore opportunities for cooperation in the field of education not only in the field of Islamic studies but also in areas such as economics, management, law and Halal researches.

The brief visit also touched on the programmes offered at UNISSA for Timor-Leste students as well as the opportunity for Timor-Leste Muslim students to pursue their studies at UNISSA.

Even though the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste is still developing, with the basis of democratic experiences, it has the potential to build relationships with regional and international countries and utilise them to build their human resources.

A country with a population of approximately 1.2 million, the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste has about two per cent of Muslims who speak mostly Indonesian.

Also present were UNISSA’s deputy rector, acting assistant rector and director of the International and Public Relations Centre.
