"My experience in Malaysia was amazing. Some of the things that stood out to me were the vibrant culture, the variety of food, and the welcoming people. I have come out of this experience having developed my cultural intelligence, which is a skill that applies to many careers. I strongly believe more NZ businesses should look to Malaysia to conduct international business."

- Sukhleen Kaur, Bachelor of Commerce student
