one of India's oldest universities, and help in establishing an Islamic
university in the island nation, a visiting Maldivian minister said
here.
A delegation led by Maldivian Minister of Islamic Affairs
Mohamed Shaheem Ali Saeed visited the university Wednesday evening to
explore possibilities of academic collaborations and partnerships. It
sought Jamia's assistance in developing a culture of academic
publications in the Maldives.

successful assimilation of Western education into Islam, the visiting
minister underscored the need to promote Islam, which was liberal,
tolerant and integrated varied influences.
He observed that the Maldives - the Indian Ocean
island
of just about 340,000 people who were predominantly Muslim - was
immensely successful in making women equal stakeholders in the country's
affairs as was evident from the assumption of high offices by them in
different walks of life.

S.M. Sajid recounted the historical ties between India and the Maldives.
He assured the visiting delegation of all possible assistance from
Jamia to facilitate academic collaborations in different sectors of
