SAUDI Arabia has Malaysia on its radar for a strong strategic partnership, and is offering generous research grants to boost collaborations in the field of education as well as research development between both countries.

Education Minister Dr Maszlee Malik said the kingdom has invited Malaysian lecturers, professors and researchers to apply for the research grants, especially for science and technology subjects.
