00:47An important event to bring around
00:50groups of people who can contribute a lot to not just
00:56The diaspora here in India, but around the world and I think the focus should be that
01:01We in Malaysia have followed this event for a while have participated as well
01:07And I'm happy to be here to contribute
01:09We have events line up for tomorrow and day after the prime minister. The Modiji is coming
01:16That's an important event, and I also have an opportunity to meet up with
01:22Minister Dr. J Shankar and we will then
01:26have a meeting with the Indian diaspora from Malaysia and try and of course
01:31build the partnerships which we can use and
01:35Capitalize on as we move along. So it's very important event happy to be here and I'm
01:40Very thankful for the great hospitality all of you
01:43Welcoming me here like this
01:51For the first time, the meeting took place with the security and cooperation which happened. So how do you look at the relationship between the two countries?
02:04Bilateral relationships between two countries have been
02:07Strong for a very very long time. We share a lot, you know in terms of culture in terms of
02:14Even religion there's there's so much
02:18History between the two countries and I think
02:21There was a starting point that has built up over the years and strengthened even more
02:26I think there's only more that both countries can do together moving ahead particularly this new world of technology
02:34Whilst the world becomes bigger, but we become closer because of platforms that we have. So I think the
02:42Future is very very bright in terms of the relations between these two countries
02:48India also talks about the digital infrastructure that they have. How do you make up the digital strength in India in that regard and how both countries can come together?
03:03I think India has done phenomenally well when it comes to digital transformation
03:07We look towards India lots of lessons. We can learn Malaysia is going through that process as well now
03:13We're looking at how we can build infrastructure. That's not just ready for technology of today
03:18But infrastructure that will prepare our country for future technology as well. All of us know that whilst we spoke of
03:24connectivity 4g 5g, but we're looking at a we're looking at AI now generative AI
03:30And technology will develop as we go along. So
03:34The collaboration is key. We are in the process of looking at
03:39Building on the Malaysia India Digital Council in August last year. There was a trip
03:47By Prime Minister of Sriyana Brahim and we met up with the Prime Minister
03:50Say Modi G here and in that meeting one of the things that was agreed on is that we will form this
03:56Council we bring Malaysia and India together
03:59and I think that's something that's
04:01In progress and I'm sure that once that is up and running then we will see a lot more effort and more collaboration
04:07Partnerships that will bring both countries together in terms of digital transformation. So definitely a lot of potential moving ahead
04:14Thank you for having me
