Malaysian Int'l Trade minister to lead trade mission to Europe
Malaysian International Trade and Industry Minister, Mustapa Mohamed, is scheduled to lead a trade and investment mission to Europe from next week in a bid to promote trade and investment in Malaysia, strengthen business networking and exploring potential ventures.
His ministry said in a statement on Wednesday that the mission will cover three major cities Milan, Stockholm and Oslo from September 25 to October 1.
The minister will meet his counterparts in the three cities during the mission, inviting investors and captains of industry for discussions.
"Through the mission, Malaysia aims to invite investors from various sectors in particular knowledge-based and high-tech industries including ICT, renewable energy, industrial technology, oil and gas, food processing, healthcare, chemical industries, telecommunications as well as machinery and equipment," the ministry said.
Mustapa was also due to co-chair the first Malaysia-Italy Joint Economic Committee Meeting with Italy's Economic Development Minister, Paolo Romani, discussing areas which both countries can cooperate in.
Italy, Sweden and Norway are important trading partners and sources of foreign investment for Malaysia.
The three markets accounted for 9.9 per cent of the country's trade with Western Europe and 613.2 million euros worth of investment projects in Malaysia.
