"I shall be flying off
to Paris on Saturday until Sept 30," she said.
She will be among six
Malaysian journalists selected to study topics on the future stakes of the
energy sector as well as aeronautics and aerospace.
They will also learn more
about Islamic finances, Halal certification, European and economic issues.
Initiated by the French
Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the programme aims to increase awareness and
knowledge about France among Malaysian information professionals.
The visit will take them to major
French companies such as Technip, a
leading company in project management, engineering and construction for the
energy industry and Total S.A., a French multinational integrated oil and gas
company.
A meeting with the rector of
the Great Mosque of Lyon, Kamel Kabtane has also been arranged.
In 1995, within the
framework of its responsibilities as a religious institution, the mosque
created the Ritual Association of the Great Mosque of Lyon (ARGML).
The ARGML was to ensure the
halal supervision and the certification of meats and food-processing products
intended for the consumption of the Muslim community.
In 2012, it counted about 50
ritual controllers who work daily to guarantee the halal conformity of the
products certified by the ARGML for Muslim consumers.
Besides Paris, the group
will fly to Toulouse to visit ATR, which has become the benchmark for
regional turboprop aircraft.
Its sales have exceeded 1,200 aircraft with over 180 operators in more than 90 countries.

warm clothes.
