(At the ambassador’s residence)
In September 2017, APIC invited former president of FSM and current senator Urusemal to Japan. This MoU started with a visit to TUJ where the idea came up to create a system where credits taken at COM could be transferred and recognized at TUJ so that seniors would be able to study abroad and gain credits. Following the visit to TUJ, COM and TUJ held talks with APIC providing background support. During this visit to Micronesia, officials from TUJ joined President Sato where TUJ and COM signed their first MoU together. Following this MoU, agreements concerning the transferring of credits will be made.

These three partners have already begun working together, and with the recommendation of the MCT, two students from Sophia University’s graduate program who are currently in the environmental research department may be able to use this and further agreements to study abroad and deepen their studies.

APIC donated $20 thousand to the College of Micronesia for its 25th founding anniversary; the funds will be used to renovate the library of the Kosrae campus. Previously, APIC has arranged student invitation programs and the Sophia University’s “Exposure Tour” to increase international student exchange with COM.
Furthermore, President Sato also partook in a courtesy visit to Vice-President of FSM Mr. Yosiwo George, a visit to COM, and participated in an environmental seminar (please click here for details).
