BANGKOK, Aug 28 — Malaysia is keen in establishing defence cooperation with Thailand, including in producing defence products to advance the country’s defence industry, said Defence Ministry Secretary-General Datuk Seri Muez Abd Aziz.
Giving an example, he said Malaysia can learn from the Defence Technology Institute , a special wing under the Thai Ministry of Defence that is involved in developing defence products. “Besides, Malaysian and Thai companies can cooperate in several fields in the defence industry including aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul services, the drone industry and armaments,” he told Bernama.
Muez also visited the factory of Chaiseri Defence Co Ltd, a private defence company regulated by the Thai Ministry of Defence that produces military vehicles exported to at least 44 countries so far.
