On November 1, Professor Juan Diego Zamudio Padilla of the National University of San Marcos, Peru, paid a courtesy visit to the Kanazawa University’s Vice-Presidents Prof. Shimura and Prof. Tanaka. As KU is currently in the process of concluding a university-level agreement for cooperation and exchange with the National University of San Marcos, we welcomed Professor Zamudio, head of the Japan Office at the National University of San Marcos, and in charge of international exchange with Japanese universities, who gave a lecture. At the lecture, attended by the Vice Presidents, Prof. Makiko Matsuda of the Institute of Transdisciplinary Sciences, and Prof. Akira Ota and other faculty members of the Organization of Global Affairs, Prof. Zamudio introduced the National University of San Marcos and its internationalization efforts. Prof. Zamudio expressed their strong wish to increase the number of international students from Japan, and there were vigorous discussions about possibilities for cooperation in various fields between the National University of San Marcos and KU.
