Aiming to help M’sia achieve RM640b bilateral trade with China

KUALA LUMPUR: MCA aims to help the country achieve the bilateral trade target of US$160bil (RM640bil) with China soon by actively mobilising Malaysians to take advantage of business and trade opportunities under China’s ambitious Belt and Road regional economic initiative.

“Looking at the current global economic situation, it will be tough to meet the target but we will work doubly hard to achieve it. If we cannot achieve it next year, we will try in 2018,” said MCA president Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai, when opening the conference “Belt and Road Initiative: Malaysia-China Business Dialogue” at Wisma MCA here yesterday.
