KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 6 — Palm oil should not be discriminated against in the trade system as the European Union (EU) moves to renew its energy directives, said Swedish Minister for Entrepreneur and Innovation, Mikael Damberg.
He said the country recognised palm oil as an important industry in Malaysia and was aware of the amount of initiatives taken to propel it in the global system.
“Sweden really appreciates the Malaysian government’s efforts on sustainability in the oil palm industry,” he told reporters on the sidelines of the 2nd Sweden-Southeast Asia Business Summit here, today. — Bernama
