Princess Tengku Faizwa shared insights from her work in public service, education, social development, and initiatives supporting female entrepreneurs. The student representatives, in turn, shared their academic experiences at Tsinghua and discussed how their programs enable students to examine social and environmental issues from a global perspective.

The conversation centred on broadening opportunities for high-achieving Malaysian students to pursue studies in China, with Tsinghua highlighted as a leading destination. Discussions included international student admissions, the potential to offer more scholarships and foundation support, and efforts to strengthen educational pathways between Malaysia, China, and the ASEAN region.

The exchange underscored the importance of educational cooperation in supporting Malaysia–China relations and reflected Tsinghua University’s ongoing efforts to advance global engagement within its academic community.
