According to Jordan News Agency, the meeting, held at the Ministry in Amman, focused on Jordan's ties with Senegal and addressed several issues of mutual interest. These included the exchange of academic expertise and students, expanding cooperation between universities and educational institutions, and exploring mechanisms for drafting and signing an executive programme and memos in higher education.
Mahafza emphasized the Ministry's commitment to attracting more Senegalese students to study at Jordanian universities and to facilitating their enrollment by addressing any challenges they may face.
