It was a great moment for the Malaysia Technical Cooperation Programme alumni as they were hosted today to a luncheon by the High Commissioner of Malaysia to Fiji Nor'Azam Mohd Idrus at his residence in Tamavua.
While speaking at the luncheon, Idrus says since 1981, Malaysia has shared its development experience with over 955 participants from Pacific Island Member States. He says among them are 544 Fijians who have experienced training and Malaysia Technical Cooperation Programme courses.
The Malaysian High Commissioner says those programmes include handling hazardous materials, land administration, national development, corruption measures, property evaluation, narcotic identification and law enforcement.
He adds they are very confident that their expanses and insight from those courses would have been invaluable in furthering their shared goals of progress and prosperity.
Attending the luncheon were the Minister for i-Taukei Affairs Ifereimi Vasu, the Home Affairs Permanent Secretary Mason Smith, and leaders from the private sectors, business communities, academia and civil society organisations.
