A delegation from an institute in the Maldives visited Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) here on Thursday and discussed with officials the prospects for academic cooperation and cultural exchange.
The seven-member delegation from the Maldivian Dhivehi Language Academy met vice chancellor Lt. Gen. Zameer Uddin Shah and other AMU officials.
The delegation is on a cultural tour of various cities in India, including Thiruvananthapuram, Bengaluru and Delhi, with an objective to collect information on India's rich educational and cultural heritage.
