PETALING JAYA: Malaysia and Venezuela have pledged to revive the air services agreements that they have had since 1993, said Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.
“This could pave the way for more air links with Latin America, possibly under a code-sharing basis.
“Malaysia and Venezuela have much to offer each other and must work towards more fruitful cooperation,” Dr Wee said in a Facebook post yesterday after attending the first bilateral engagement in Montevideo, Uruguay, with the Instituto Nacional de Aeronautica Civil (INAC).
INAC is the equivalent of the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia.
The minister also said that both countries will discuss organising more training courses and exchange programmes on aviation-related training.
“The training will be in human resource development, financial management and other aviation technical expertise under the Malaysia Technical Cooperation Programme, particularly with courses by the Malaysian Aviation Academy,” he said.
Dr Wee added that he had a very encouraging meeting with INAC president Major-General Juan Teixeira on the safe reopening of their countries’ respective air borders.
Separately, the MCA president sent his best wishes to Sultan Ibrahim Ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar in conjunction with the Johor Ruler’s official birthday.
Dr Wee, who is Ayer Hitam MP, posted his greetings on his Facebook page.
“Daulat Tuanku. I wish to extend my sincere congratulations and best wishes on the occasion of the Duli Yang Maha Mulia Sultan Ibrahim Ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar of Johor Darul Ta’zim’s official birthday.”
