CHINA: Southeast Asian universities flock to expo

Southeast Asian universities have been showing unique enthusiasm in this year's Beijing International Education Expo, reports Xinhuanet.

The Malaysian embassy in China, for example, is represented by 12 universities, the largest group among all the international exhibitors, Saturday's China Daily reported. The Chinese and Malaysian governments reached agreements on frameworks to facilitate mutual recognition of higher education qualifications during Premier Wen Jiabao's visit to Malaysia in late April.

"The number of Chinese students in Malaysia reached a historic peak of 10,000 in 2010. And we are expecting more after the agreements," said Wong Chong Way, education attaché at the embassy.
