Within the framework of strengthening Arab academic and industrial partnerships, Professor Anas Rateb Al-Saud, Executive Director of the Association of Arab Universities, received at the Association’s headquarters Professor Ibrahim Al-Kurdi, President of Ammon Applied University College, along with his accompanying delegation, in the presence of Ms. Lina Al-Bitar, Director of the General Administration at the Association. 

The visit took place in the context of exploring prospects for joint cooperation between the Association of Arab Universities and Ammon Applied University College, in a way that contributes to enhancing the College’s presence within the Arab higher education system and opening new avenues for academic and applied collaboration in a number of specialized fields, foremost among them hospitality and tourism. 

During the meeting, the two sides discussed the potential accession of Ammon Applied University College to membership in the Association of Arab Universities, given the importance of this step in expanding the College’s network of academic relations with member Arab universities and benefiting from the programs and initiatives launched by the Association in the areas of institutional development, accreditation, capacity building, and joint scientific cooperation. 

The two parties also discussed a proposal to host the annual conference of hospitality and tourism faculties of member Arab universities in Jordan. This reflects Jordan’s advanced standing in both the education and tourism sectors and contributes to providing a specialized Arab platform for the exchange of expertise and successful experiences among relevant colleges and academic programs. 

The meeting emphasized the importance of developing a strategic partnership between the two sides in areas such as practical training, aligning academic programs with labor market needs, and enhancing the professional skills of students in tourism and hospitality disciplines, in addition to launching joint initiatives that enhance the quality of applied education and support innovation in this vital sector. 

This visit comes as part of the ongoing efforts of the Association of Arab Universities to expand its partnerships with Arab higher education institutions, support specialized colleges, and strengthen their role in serving the economic and social development priorities of Arab countries.
