BANJARMASIN – Renowned as a reference point for Islamic higher education institutions across Indonesia, the State Islamic University Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta remains grounded by acknowledging the strong emphasis on local expertise at UIN Antasari, paving the way for renewed collaboration.

These are aspects that we need to develop for the international community,” he asserted while delivering his remarks.

Meanwhile, Prof. Dr. H. Mujiburrahman, M.A., Rector of UIN Antasari Banjarmasin, expressed his delight at the attendance of this event, especially since the attending guests were old acquaintances from his time as Rector when he pursued the faculty development program in Jakarta.
