The two sides discussed ongoing oil and gas projects and prospects for cooperation with Malaysian technology companies. This was reported by Orient news agency.

According to the Malaysian diplomatic mission, particular attention was paid to opportunities for international energy companies to work with specialized service providers.

The meeting took place ahead of a business mission comprising representatives of 14 Malaysian companies specializing in oil and gas equipment and services (OGSE).
