Indonesia's President Prabowo Subianto recently disclosed that the number of Indonesian citizens receiving the Malaysian Government Scholarship (MBG) has surpassed 35,400, marking a significant milestone for the program.
The MBG, which aims to promote people-to-people diplomacy and cultural exchange between Indonesia and Malaysia, has been instrumental in fostering greater understanding between the two nations. Over the past few years, the number of Indonesian recipients of the scholarship has consistently increased, reflecting the growing importance of bilateral relations between Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur.
According to Prabowo, a total of 35,400 Indonesians have benefited from the MBG since its inception, with seven consecutive years seeing an increase in the number of recipients. This upward trend is a testament to the success of the program in promoting mutual understanding and cooperation between Indonesia and Malaysia.
The scholarship programme has enabled many Indonesian students to pursue higher education in Malaysia, where they can engage in various academic, research, and cultural activities that promote people-to-people diplomacy and regional cooperation.
