MALAYSIA TAKES DELIVERY OF RENOVATED SONGKHLA CONSULATE BUILDING

SONGKHLA (Thailand), Sept 28 (Bernama) -- The Malaysian foreign ministry on Wednesday took delivery of the new-look Malaysian consulate building, which has undergone renovation.

The handing-over ceremony was held at the compound of the consulate building, located near Samila Beach. Mohd Radzi planted a mahogany sapling in the compound.

Also present at the ceremony were Malaysian Ambassador to Thailand
