His Royal Highness signed the official plaque, viewed the screening of a montage and toured an exhibition.
The sultan attended a reception and left at about noon.
Earlier, upon arrival at about 10am, Sultan Nazrin was welcomed by Perak Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu; Deputy Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Minister Sim Tze Tzin and Perak state executive councillors.

The plan to have a new building for the Perak LKIM in Seri Manjung began in April 2011 with the LKIM acquisition of land.
The three-storey office block has various facilities, including a multipurpose hall, cafeteria, and covered and open parking bays.
The building has been conceptualised along the lines of the LKIM headquarters in Pulau Meranti, Puchong, Selangor. It was completed in 2015. — Bernama
