The top five export destinations for the South-East Asian nation are the United States, Vietnam, Japan, China, and Canada, the report added.

Meanwhile, the kingdom recorded a total import of 10.36 billion dollars during the January-April period this year, a rise of 19.7 per cent year-on-year, the report said.

Key imported goods included petroleum, raw materials for garment, footwear and travel goods, vehicles, machinery, electronic appliances, and consuming products, among others, it added.
