On 3 June 2026, Deputy Chief of Mission Mr. Syed Farizal Aminy Syed Mohamad received Ms. Shoba Devi A. Balakrishnan, Chairperson of Yayasan AFS Antarabudaya Malaysia.
The meeting served as an important platform to advance the shared commitment to youth empowerment and international education. Discussions centered on expanding collaboration through flagship programs under the U.S. Department of State initiative managed locally by AFS Malaysia to build future youth ambassadors. By expanding pathways for study abroad through youth exchange programmes, both the Embassy and Yayasan AFS are dedicated to nurturing the next generation of global citizens and deepening people-to-people ties between Malaysia and the U.S.
