TOKYO: Japan is ready to take Malaysia to a new frontier in space exploration and technology, via collaborative initiatives.

"With Malaysia's experience in these sectors and the decades-old strong bilateral relationship between both countries, I reckon Malaysia can forge ahead in space science and beyond.
