KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia, which has applied to join BRICS, also wants to resume free trade agreement (FTA) negotiations with the European Union (EU) towards finalising the pact while also in talks with ASEAN member states to strengthen trade further.
Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz said trade with ASEAN countries only accounts for 23 per cent of total trade, thus offering Malaysia an opportunity to further boost trade with countries in the region.
