UK-Malaysia CPTPP deal to benefit SMEs


- Reuters

KUALA LUMPUR: The first Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) between the United Kingdom and Malaysia is expected to unlock vast opportunities for Malaysian exporters, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs), to penetrate the UK market. 

Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz said the matter was among those discussed during his recent meeting with UK Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs David Lammy. 

“Together, we could drive economic growth, which is resilient and innovative,” he said in a post on X last Saturday. 

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim received a courtesy call from Lammy yesterday to strengthen strategic partnership. 

Via the X platform, Anwar said Malaysia welcomes close cooperation in various fields, including investment, energy transition, education, climate change, digitalisation and artificial intelligence. — Bernama
