Our university and the University of Kelaniya in Sri Lanka have recently concluded an international exchange agreement (university exchange agreement) with the aim of promoting student and faculty exchanges and joint research.
This agreement will promote various global initiatives, such as the international expansion of educational and research activities through collaboration between the two universities and the diversification of international exchange networks.
The University of Kelaniya is a public university founded in 1875. It has six faculties and four graduate schools, including the Faculty of Science, Faculty of Social Sciences, and Faculty of Computing and Technology. Many students are studying Japanese in the Japanese language course offered in the Department of Modern Languages in the Faculty of Humanities.
At the signing ceremony, which was held online on Friday, February 13th, President Kitajima said, "Our university is committed to cultivating global human resources, and our mid-term plan slogan is 'Toward a comprehensive university that integration of humanities, sciences, and arts.' In order to embody these efforts through the signing of this agreement, I would like to invite students from the University of Kelaniya who are studying Japanese to come to our university, interact with our students, and learn together. I hope that this agreement will be the first step towards further strengthening the collaboration between our two universities."
Nilanthi Renuka de Silva, Vice Chancellor of the University of Kelaniya, expressed his enthusiasm for future personnel exchanges, saying, "I am very pleased that this agreement has been concluded. There are many students studying Japanese at the University of Kelaniya, and they are all looking forward to interacting with Japanese students.

Going forward, our university will continue to implement a variety of initiatives with the aim of cultivating global human resources.
