Azerbaijan and Malaysia will sign a Memorandum of Understanding in the field of higher education.

As Report informs, this was announced by the Minister of Science and Education of Azerbaijan Emin Amrullayev at a reception in Baku on the occasion of Malaysia's Independence Day.

"The program provides for the provision of scholarships, as well as student and teacher exchanges. One of Azerbaijan's priorities in education is to increase the number of foreign students studying in the country.
