Malaysia offers consultancy support to U'khand for infra works

The Malaysian government today offered to provide consultancy support to Uttarakhand for carrying out various infrastructure related works in the state.
The proposal came during a meeting of Uttarakhand Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat and a Malaysian delegation.
Minister of Works Malaysia Haji Fadillah Bin Haji Yusof was part of delegation which comprised representatives from the Malaysian government and the private sector.
"The Malaysian government proposed to support the infrastructure related projects in Uttarakhand by its consultancy firm Performance Management and Delivery Unit," a release said.
The two sides also discussed the PPP model for implementation of projects related to infrastructure and urban development like metro and roadways.

Besides, both sides also gave consent to form a Joint Working Committee (JWC) which will hold its first meeting in Malaysia.
Meanwhile, Rawat, who last month took over as chief minister of Uttarakhand, also met National Security Adviser Ajit Doval at the latter's residence.
Army chief General Bipin Rawat and Uttarakhand minister Dhan Singh Rawat, among others, were present on the occasion. Doval and the army chief both hail from Uttarakhand.
