The meeting was attended by representatives of the National Center for Higher Education Development, including the Director’s Advisor, Deputy Directors, and the Head of the Department for the Internationalization of Higher Education, as well as officials from the Embassy of Indonesia.

During the meeting, the parties discussed key issues of bilateral cooperation in higher education, including student academic mobility, the attraction of foreign lecturers, the implementation of joint educational programs, and the prospects for introducing a dual-degree system.

In 2024, 17 students from Kazakhstan have completed their academic exchange programs at universities in Indonesia. These numbers reflect the growing interest in the educational programs of both countries. Special attention was given to Kazakhstan's upcoming ratification of the Tokyo Convention in May 2025, which will be a significant step toward strengthening international cooperation in education.
