Foreign Minister G. L. Peiris recently expressed the urgent need of broadening the vocational training in Sri Lanka and said that Malaysia and Sri Lanka can progress in this sector through joint cooperation.

He emphasised the need for building further collaboration in areas that are beneficial to both countries, and commended the progress that Malaysia recorded in the field of digitalisation.
