PENANG,  8  May  2017  –  This  year  marks  the  60th  anniversary  of  the  establishment  of  diplomatic relations between Malaysia and Japan. Since then, bilateral relations have been strengthened through the implementation of the ‘Look East Policy’ then and now, it is the ‘Look West Policy’ for the Japanese to turn its attention to Malaysia.

“With the events in history kept in mind, this relationship between the two nations will continue to be strengthened further, because I believe Malaysia­Japan relationship has already moved from practising diversity to unity and from having tolerance to one of acceptance,” said the Consul­General of Japan in Penang,  Kiyoshi  Itoi  during  the  opening  ceremony  of  “Towards  the  Future  –  Tribute  to  Diplomatic Relations: Malaysia & Japan 60 years Anniversary” programme held today at Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM).

He  added,  similarly  collaborations  between  Japan  and  USM  in  academic  and  cultural  exchange programmes have also achieved remarkable development over the past decades.

“USM  has  always  been  an  important  partner  for  Japan  as  both  share  the  same  values  on  the international  stage.  We  see  many  ongoing  mutual  visits  and  cooperation  in  the  field  of  academic, research, cultural and people­to­people exchange,” he said.

Kiyoshi named several collaborations between Japan and USM over the years, namely the establishment of the Toyohashi University of Technology – USM Technology Collaboration Centre in Penang, and strategic  collaborations  with  Nagoya  City  Board  of  Education,  Hiroshima  University,  Akita International  University,  Nanzan  University,  Ritsumeikan  University,  Nagaoka  University  of Technology, and the RIKEN Research Institute in Tokyo.

Furthermore, Toray, the main strategic partner of USM contributed RM4 million for the construction of  the  Toray­USM  Knowledge  Transfer  Centre  at  USM  as  well  as  with  Kyoto  University  of  Foreign Studies (KUFS) on the setting up of the KUFS­USM Japanese Culture Centre in USM in 2015.

According to the USM Deputy Vice­Chancellor (Industry and Community Network), Professor Dr. Abdul Rahman Mohamed, the objectives of this programme are noble, in that it is hoped to further strengthen ties  between  both  countries  and  also  to  allow  the  practice  of  active  learning  of  cultures  by  offering alternative ways of exploring the world through different perspectives.

“The  establishment  of  diplomatic  relations  between  Japan  and  Malaysia  was  forged  on  31st  August 1957,  the  very  same  day  the  Federation  of  Malaya  declared  its  independence.  Since  then,  bilateral relations between both countries have been strengthened and more recently, this relationship has been extended to include strategic partnership in security and defence,” added Abdul Rahman.
