Ambassador Kira D. Azucena met with Professor Cheryl de la Rey, Vice-Chancellor of University of Canterbury (upper left), Professor Jan Thomas, Vice-Chancellor of Massey University (upper right), and Professor Stuart Brock, Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Academic of University of Otago (bottom), to explore opportunities for collaboration between Philippine Higher Education Institutions and NZ universities, such as student and faculty exchange, joint degree programs, design of short-term training programs for faculty, and joint membership in editorial boards for research publications.

Ambassador Azucena’s meetings come ahead of a visit to New Zealand by internationally ranked Philippine universities in November 2024. They also build upon the visit to Wellington of the Commission on Higher Education last August.
