KUALA LUMPUR: The country should continue to strive to produce local graduates to fill high-value professions in the increasingly dynamic field of defence and security strategy, says Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah.

His Majesty said relevant parties such as Universiti Pertahanan Nasional Malaysia (UPNM) must continue to explore the latest fields of knowledge to ensure that Malaysia always has a line of thinkers and scholars able to formulate long-term plans to protect the country’s strategic interests.
