Malaysian Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir has traveled to Vladivostok to lead Malaysia's delegation to the Malaysia-Russia Joint Commission for Economic, Scientific, Technical and Cultural Cooperation (JC-ESTC) meeting. This is the fifth meeting of its kind, held from August 13 to August 15.
The JC-ESTC, established in 2015, serves as a formal platform for Malaysia and Russia to coordinate cooperation across various sectors, including trade and investment, energy, science and technology, higher education, agriculture, and social and cultural cooperation. This year's meeting will see representatives from 18 Malaysian ministries and agencies participating.
Key agenda items for the meeting include expanding bilateral trade and investment, exploring opportunities in strategic sectors and emerging technologies, deepening cooperation in higher education through increased student and academic mobility, joint research, university partnerships, and talent development in strategic fields like science and technology.
The meeting will also review progress on previous agreements and identify areas for further action or new initiatives. Malaysian officials aim to ensure the meeting results in concrete agreements and follow-up measures that translate existing bilateral ties into practical cooperation, benefiting both nations' economies and people.
Upon his arrival in Vladivostok, Dr Zambry was received by Russian Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education Konstantin Mogilevsky.
