Malaysia expands UAE links in bid to forge GCC free trade deal

Monday, Aug 29, 2011

Dubai: Malaysia is looking to expand trade and business links with the UAE in the fields of education, electronics and energy, Sato Jabar, Malaysia’s ambassador to the UAE, told Gulf News.

Jabar also sought to highlight Malaysia’s attractiveness as a tourist destination to GCC nationals, and said the country is keen to increase visitor numbers from the Gulf.

“The UAE has managed to be at the forefront of Middle East growth and development because of its continuous efforts to maintain strong business and trade relations with key emerging economies,” Jabar said.

A report by the Malaysian Ministry of Tourism said 250,000 visitors from the Middle East go to Malaysia every year.

Gearing up to be the investment destination for South East Asia, Malaysia has started to offer a wide spectrum of investment opportunities, Jabar said.
