British Prime Minister David Cameron's visit to Malaysia, which kicked off Thursday, sees him participate in a bilateral meeting with Malaysian officials as well as witness the signing ceremony of Malaysia-United Kingdom Joint Statement in Higher Education at Nottingham University's local campus. This event was organised by Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE).
Cameron's visit takes place nine months after Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak's visit to the UK, and is expected to increase momentum in bilateral ties between the nations.
Datuk Sri Khaled Nordin, Minister of Higher Education also joined the Signing Ceremony.
The new agreement which commits both countries to an enhanced partnership in education and skills training, alongside the doubling of Chevening scholarships as a result of support from BAE Systems. In the field of energy, British technology is playing a key role in supporting the further development of Malaysia's oil and gas industry.
And as Malaysia invests in its infrastructure to keep up with its economic development, Britain can offer its world class engineering experience in areas like the mass railway expansion that is taking place here.
