02 May 2019
The prime minister outlined the fundamentals of the new Malaysia as, among others, boosting productivity at all levels, promoting quality investment, ensuring sustainable long-term economic growth, and helping industries to rise. “We have come a long way to be where we are today and despite all the challenges, we still stand united as Malaysians,” he said when launching the Bohai Commodity Exchange of China Malaysia/Asean e-commerce trading platform here, today.
Dr Mahathir said the free-trade agreements , which the Malaysian government had signed, could help companies to export and enhance Malaysia’s competitive advantage, strengthen investor confidence and to a large extent, build the country’s economic sustainability. On the BOCE Malaysia/Asean e-commerce trading platform, Dr Mahathir said Putrajaya now becomes one of the six global offices of BOCE operating outside China, apart from the United States, Canada, New Zealand, Ukraine and Australia.
He said the CGTSB is working closely with the Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation under the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, Primary Industries Ministry, Economic Affairs Ministry, Agriculture Ministry, and Malaysia Palm Oil Council to encourage more local exporters to use the platform.
