KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 12 — Malaysia should make the most of its strong ties with China to boost exports and expand markets for local products, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said.
Anwar, who is also finance minister, said the Madani Government would continue to strengthen the business environment and help micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) expand their reach in international markets.
“This will ensure that more local businesses benefit from the economic ties between the two countries,” he said in a Facebook post today.
Earlier, Anwar received a courtesy call from the organising committee of the Malaysia-China Entrepreneurs Conference (MCEC) 2026, led by its adviser, Tan Sri Barry Goh Ming Choon, to discuss plans for the 16th edition of the prestigious conference.
Anwar said the government fully supported this year’s conference as a strategic platform to strengthen trade, investment and business networks between the corporate communities of both countries.
“I hope MCEC will continue to open up more high-value economic opportunities, including helping local entrepreneurs and Bumiputera companies gain a foothold in the Chinese market, particularly in the halal industry,” he said. — Bernama
