PETALING JAYA: The visiting president of Germany, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, said vocational training was an area which the European country could collaborate with Malaysia.

He said he had noticed a lack of vocational training for young people while on a visit to Penang yesterday.

He said there were many high-tech German companies in the state producing semiconductors and medical supplies, Bernama reported.

“I talked to the young people who voiced their expectations and we need to intensify and do more in the field of vocational training in Malaysia,” he said at a joint press conference with Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.

Steinmeier said Malaysia would be an important location for German companies to diversify their businesses and investments.
