TRAI to collaborate with Malaysian telecom regulator

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) and the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) on Tuesday signed a Letter of Intent (LoI) to jointly conduct capacity building exercises in the field of broadcasting and telecommunications regulation. This agreement will help in enhancing the cooperation and bilateral ties between the two entities. 
 
The proposed deal between both the regulators will enable the exchange of information and regulatory best practices in the fields of broadcasting and telecommunications, including new and emerging areas. It will also help in exchange, deployment and attachment of experts from both the countries.  The TRAI said in a statement that the signing of this “historic agreement” is significant as both India and Malaysia can learn from each other, and enhance mutual cooperation and bilateral relations. 
 
“This will enable collaboration in various international forums, including, but not limited to, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), Asia-Pacific Telecommunity (APT) and International Telecommunication Union (ITU),” a press note stated.
