Malaysia to deepen biz ties with China

As this year's guest of honor country at the 7th China International Import Expo, Malaysia is making the most of the spotlight to showcase its export offerings and develop stronger economic cooperation with China, said Tengku Zafrul Aziz, Malaysia's minister of investment, trade and industry.

Zafrul expressed optimism that the long-standing Malaysia-China partnership will scale new heights at CIIE and beyond, in an exclusive interview with China Daily.

"We have always been a strong supporter of the CIIE and are grateful to be the guest of honor country this year," Zafrul said. "Our Prime Minister delivered the opening address for the CIIE and over 60 Malaysian companies are involved showcasing products ranging from food and beverages to high-tech solutions like aerospace."
