KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia and Laos today signed a memorandum of understanding on bilateral defence cooperation.
Malaysian Defence Minister Mohamad Sabu and Laos Minister of National Defence Gen Chansamone Chanyalath, who is on a three-day visit to Malaysia beginning yesterday, signed the MoU at Wisma Perwira here.
In a joint press release, the two ministers expressed optimism that the MoU would increase interaction and initiate deeper bilateral defence cooperation that would serve the common interests of the two countries.
They said defence cooperation between the two countries was gradually but assuredly progressing, underpinned by the two nations’ close working relationship as members of the Asean Defence Ministers’ Meeting (ADMM).
They said their excellent interaction at the ADMM level had ensured a solid platform for the two countries to contribute towards the continued peace, stability and security in the Southeast Asian region.
Chansamone is on his first official visit to Malaysia since assuming office in April 2016.
He visited the National Defence University of Malaysia and BHIC Aeroservices Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Boustead Heavy Industries Corporation Bhd. – Bernama
