KUCHING, April 24: Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas today had a meeting with officers from the Malaysian Technology Development Corporation Sdn Bhd (MTDC).

Uggah, who is also Minister of Modernisation of Agriculture, Native Land and Regional Development, said in a press release today that Sarawak was very keen to learn from the MTDC experience in managing its Agriculture Venture Capital Fund.
