FRANKFURT, March 27 — A string of upcoming high-profile activities aimed at promoting investments and trade with Malaysia are slated to be held in Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
The Frankfurt office of the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) is involved in these activities.
MIDA’s director, Yusri Hasnan Chu, said that the activities are part of promotional work to attract investments and businesses from these countries.
“We are expecting a special project mission organised by the MIDA head office in mid-April. It will be a product-specific mission dealing with machinery and engineering products. This delegation will visit Frankfurt, Amsterdam and Stuttgart. The delegation will meet potential investing companies,” said Yusri in an interview with Bernama, here.
Yusri will be highlighting investment opportunities for Belgian and European enterprises in Malaysia during the 2019 Asean Trade and Investment Forum (ATIF) in Brussels on April 4.
