The event was attended by approximately thirty institutional leaders from Malaysia, while Hungarian higher education institutions were represented by a thirteen-member delegation from the Hungarian Rectors' Conference (MRK), primarily consisting of rectors and vice-rectors. The attendees were welcomed by Dr Petra Ponevács-Pana, the Hungarian Ambassador, on behalf of Hungary, and by Professor Sibrandes Poppema, the President of the host institution, Sunway University, on behalf of Malaysia.
