Director-General, Sergey Mikhaylov said he looked forward to working closely
with Zulkefli to maintain cordial relations and strengthen cooperation between
the two agencies.
Mikhaylov,

represents BERNAMA in the OANA Executive Board.
Yonhap
President and CEO, Song Hyun-Seung also extended his congratulations to
Zulkefli, saying it was a well-deserved appointment.
"I
am firmly convinced that the already excellent and close relationship between
our two leading agencies of Malaysia and South Korea will continue in the
coming years and will further improve under your leadership based on your broad
experiences from serving in important posts, including as
editor-in-chief," Song he said in his congratulatory letter.
He
hoped that both news agencies, being OANA board members, would be able to work
closely under the frame of OANA leadership, while elevating mutual collaboration
to the next level.
"I
hope your agency will successfully hold the 38th OANA Executive Board Meeting
in February next year in Kuala Lumpur, bearing a fruitful result and further
contributing to OANA's development and closer ties of member agencies,"
said Song.
