"Malaysia would like to transfer the locally-developed advanced technology to the Gulf region," Datuk Syed Hussein Al Habshee, Malaysian ambassador to the UAE, was quoted by Bernama on Monday.
As part of this cooperation, the Abu Dhabi-based International Centre for Training and Development is holding two events in Malaysia during the next two weeks with the participation of top business executives from the UAE and other Gulf countries.
