Malaysia and Jordan are pushing to expand strategic cooperation in high-tech industries. Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim says the priority is training more engineers on both sides. The talks, hosted in Putrajaya, cast technical education as the most concrete area of partnership so far. Jordan's universities have long produced strong engineering talent, a resource Malaysia wants to draw on. Malaysia, for its part, is trying to build a bigger skilled workforce for its growing technology sector. Anwar did not announce funding figures or a signed agreement, leaving the scope of the cooperation open. Both governments appear to view engineering skills as the quickest bridge from diplomatic goodwill to real industrial ties.
