ANKARA, July 8 — Malaysia is keen to further develop cooperation with Turkey to tap the latter’s unique expertise in the defence industry.
He said the continued modernisation of Malaysia’s defence systems took into consideration current geopolitical developments, and the scope of cooperation went beyond the mere purchase of military assets and equipment. For the long term, the government aims to make Malaysia a hub for modern defence industry in Asean, and it includes proposals to buy military drones from Turkey which involve the setting up of factories in Malaysia.
Malaysia and Turkey are also in agreement on the need to continue supporting the struggle of the Palestinians to end the cruelty of the Zionist regime and realise Palestine as an independent and sovereign country.
