"With the slow recovery in the U.S. and the eurozone, we must increase our cooperation in sustaining the growth in our regional economies. Hence, there must be more business exchanges and linkages. Malaysia can assume the role in bringing China and ASEAN closer," Malaysia's deputy international trade and industry minister Jacob Dungau Sagan said before opening the exhibition.
"I believe the bilateral cooperation between China and Malaysia will leap forward. We can make full use of the favorable policies in the China-ASEAN free trade zone to widen the size of our bilateral trade and improve our shipment structure to achieve steady trading growth between our countries," economic and commercial counselor of the Chinese embassy in Malaysia, Xuan Guoxing, addressed the launch ceremony.
