Education is one of the top agendas for Crown Prince of Japan Prince Naruhito in his first official visit to Malaysia.
On the second day of his five-day trip, he visited two educational institutions, carrying the message that an exchange in education between Malaysia and Japan would greatly benefit both countries.
Yesterday morning, Prince Naruhito visited the Permata Pintar centre in Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, which runs a programme cultivating the innate intellectual and creative talent of nine to 17-year-olds.
He was greeted by Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, wife of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, students and staff of the centre.
Spending about an hour at the centre, he toured the compound, accompanied by Rosmah, who is patron of the Permata Pintar programme.
The prince took some time to talk to several students of the centre, who had prepared a mini science exhibition in conjunction with the royal visit.
He was also treated to a traditional music performance by the students.
Rosmah later told reporters that the prince was impressed with the Permata Pintar centre.
She said that the prince also wished for more student exchange programmes between the centre and schools specialising in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) in Japan.
Prince Naruhito also encouraged the exchange of scholars between Malaysia and Japan during his visit to Universiti Malaya yesterday evening.
In his Royal Address at UM, Prince Naruhito said he hoped that his visit could further promote the solid bonds between the two nations celebrating the 60th anniversary of their diplomatic ties this year.
“It is our fervent hope that exchanges of scholars will be encouraged, researchers and students will reinvigorate scholastic advancement,” the prince said.
He added that the number of Japanese people choosing Malaysia as a destination for education was also increasing.
In conjunction with his visit, there was a special tree planting ceremony at the site where a commemorative tree was planted by his parents in 1970.
He planted a local plant, Syzygium antisepticum or commonly known as Gelam Tikus, a species cultivated in UM’s botanical garden specifically for biodiversity conservation.
Among those at the event were Sultan of Perak Sultan Nazrin Muizzuddin Shah, who is also UM Chancellor, and UM vice-chancellor Prof Tan Sri Dr Mohd Amin Jalaludin.
The prince also visited the National Monument where he paid his respects.
