4AEI would accordingly consult
with all centres of Balanced
Mobility such as ASEF, ASEM-
DUO, Erasmus Mundus etc with
the view to obtaining their cooperation on
moving Balanced Mobility further forward.
In concert with the Ministry of Education,
AEI would then draft out relevant
proposals for the consideration of future
SOM which would be preparatory to
ASEMME5 in Latvia.
5AEI is very much gratified and
deeply appreciative of the
guidance and endorsement
extended by the senior officials
of the then Ministry of Higher Education
in enabling AEI to undertake this role
for Malaysia. It is noteworthy that the
Director – General of Higher Education
had presented the proposal on Balanced
Mobility. The decision of the Ministers is
very much in accord with the proposal
made by the fourth Prime Minister of
Malaysia, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad at
the first ASEM Summit in 1996 wherein
he had proposed closer cooperation
between Asia and Europe in the field of
Higher Education. It is for this reason that
AEI was established by the Malaysian
Government in January 2000.
