AUSTRALIAN and local business leaders expect the first official visit to Australia by a Malaysian Prime Minister in two decades to consolidate warming political relations between Canberra and Kuala Lumpur and to give a significant boost to bilateral trade and investment.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi will be accompanied on his whirlwind tour by a group of 26 Malaysian business leaders, hand-picked by the PM’s Department. They will form the strongest Malaysian trade and investment delegation to Australia since the one that accompanied former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad on his official visit almost two decades ago.
