“Polish companies should take advantage of the opportunities to expand their businesses in the field of biotechnology, information and communication technology, and research and development, as well as enhance cooperation with Malaysian companies and institutions of higher learning,
“I hope bilateral relations between Malaysia and Poland will be further strengthened through enhanced cooperation in various fields, including trade, investment and education,” he said when receiving Magdalena Skowyra-Jelonek, wife of the Poland’s ambassador’s to Malaysia, and three Polish university officials at Istana Arau today.
