KUALA LUMPUR: The framework of the cooperation agreement between Malaysia and the Gulf Cooperation Council countries has been completed and the next step is to sign the free trade agreement, according to Minister of International Trade and Industry Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed.
“We have decided to go ahead. We want to strengthen relationships with the Middle Easterners. We want them to invest here, as well as for our people to invest there. As it is, they already invest in our services sector like banks and property,” Mustapa said at the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (Mida) annual conference yesterday.
