PETALING JAYA: Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi says Malaysia is forming strategic ties with international institutions to position itself as a regional centre for technical and vocational education and training (TVET).

Zahid added that Malaysia is ready to lead in producing world-class skilled talent through global and regional cooperation.

He also met UK environment secretary Steve Reed to discuss climate change, disaster management, and bilateral cooperation, highlighting the need for tech-driven solutions and greater public awareness on pollution issues in Malaysia.
