KUALA LUMPUR: Connectivity is “key” to boosting trade across Asean, says Anthony Loke Siew Fook, as Malaysia commits to improving rail, road, and maritime links.
Speaking to the media after launching the Malaysia-China Summit 2024, the Transport Minister noted that while 95% of trade goods are still transported via sea, rail connectivity remains underdeveloped and has the potential to complement maritime trade.
