Perlis, Tashkent teroka kerjasama pelancongan, pertanian

The Raja Muda of Perlis, Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra Jamalullail, happily departed for a high-level meeting in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, hosted by Governor Wilayah Zoyir Mirzayev at the Amirsoy Mountain Resort. In an article published in PETALING JAYA, the two regions, Perlis and Tashkent, are exploring opportunities to expand cooperation in the agricultural and tourism sectors, including the potential development of oil palm plantations in Tashkent.

Governor Mirzayev mentioned that the cooperation can be strengthened through knowledge sharing and leveraging the economic advantages and strengths of both parties. According to him, the exploration of potential oil palm cultivation has already begun, possibly expanding the project following previous discussions. This reflects the positive developments from previous discussions in identifying agricultural sectors that can be developed through strategic cooperation, according to the statement on the meeting.

In the tourism sector, both sides also discussed opportunities for cooperation by leveraging the attractions and unique features of each destination to revitalize economic activities. This was sparked by Zoyir at the evening reception, which celebrated Raja Muda Perlis Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra Jamalullail and Raja Puan Muda Perlis Tuanku Lailatul Shahreen Akashah Khalil.

The event took place at the Amirsoy Mountain Resort, a mountain resort about 80km from Tashkent city, before the royal couple returned home. Zoyir also highlighted the good relationship between Raja Perlis Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin Jamalullail and Tuanku Syed Faizuddin, as the foundation for further strengthening relations and cooperation between the two parties.

Also present were Malaysia's Ambassador to Uzbekistan, Rafeedah Abdul Aziz, and Perlis' Mufti, Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin. The couple's daughter, Princess Sharifah Farah Adriana Jamalullail, also attended the event. In April of the previous year, Zoyir hosted a working visit to Perlis and met Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin at Arau Palace, in addition to visiting Universiti Malaysia Perlis.

He also attended the Amal MAIPs Peduli Welfare Program in the Warna-Warni Seberang Ramai Village Transformation Project area in Kuala Perlis. Following this visit, Zoyir, accompanied by Uzbekistan's Ambassador to Malaysia, Karomiddin Gadoev, officially selected Perlis as Tashkent's main cooperation partner.
