Spanish-based companies which are under the AFM.

technology from Spain to enhance the industries' competitive advantage in
Malaysia," he told reporters.
Baranano said about 30 scholarships would be offered to qualified students
in technical and languages courses.
He added that the AFM was hoping to arrange a student exchange programme
between Malaysian and Spanish students to strengthen the ties of the two
nations.
