KUALA LUMPUR: King Abdullah II of Jordan has called for stronger defence cooperation between Jordan and Malaysia, including in military technology, drone and counter-drone warfare, as both countries seek to adapt to evolving security challenges.
The King said Malaysia's capabilities in industry, intelligence and talent development could complement Jordan's efforts to modernise its armed forces, opening up opportunities for a new chapter in defence ties between the two countries.
"I do believe that the industry and the intelligence and the young talent that you have in Malaysia is complementary to what we are doing in massive changes of our armed forces and especially moving into drone and counter-drone warfare," he said.
