KUALA LUMPUR: Bilateral trade between Malaysia and Canada has bright prospects, given both countries' ability to withstand a global economic crisis, said Canada's International Trade Minister Ed Fast.

“Malaysia has done well in the global economic crisis and Canada has also fared well. Both countries have investments (in each other's country) and the challenge is to be able to take it to the next level,” he told StarBiz in an interview yesterday.
