 Malaysia is expected to formalize several agreements with India on the use of satellite applications and space technologies, local media reported Tuesday. "We are looking at initiating a formal cooperation with the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) in various areas," said Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak.

Najib made the remarks Monday when winding his week-long visit to India in Bangalore, the information technology hub.

Malaysia is set to use satellite technology in education, agriculture, fisheries and telemedicine, to further improve incomes and the quality of life of the Malaysian people, especially those in rural areas, said Najib, who is also defense minister.

The government will also consider cooperating with Bharat Electronics Ltd., an Indian state-run company, to make use of India's missile technology, radar systems, defense communication systems and support hardware, said Najib.

"The (Malaysian) Defense Ministry will consider suitability of its (Bharat) systems for our armed forces," Najib told Malaysian reporters.

Najib earlier visited the company's headquarters, where they were shown state-of-art electronic warfare systems.

The deputy prime minister kicked off his visit to India last Tuesday, which also took him to New Delhi, the capital city, and Mumbai, India's commercial capital.
