Vice-Chancellor Zaini Ujang established strategic engagements with strong potential for productive ventures during his recent trip to Mekah and Madinah. This paves the way for UTM academics to share insights and meaningful experience with the Mayor of Madinah and officers of Madinah Municipality, as well as counterparts from both universities of Taibah and Ummul Qura in the holy land.
During his visit on 4 November 2012 to Madinah, Zaini engaged in two major programmes with the Mayor of Madinah, His Excellency, Dr Khalid Taher and also the new Rector of Taibah University, Prof. Adnan Almasrua.
