Anwar: Kuantan Port will be important base for trade with China, Thailand, Laos and Vietnam


Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim

KUALA LUMPUR: Kuantan Port will serve as an important base for trade with China as well as the coastal areas of Thailand, Laos and Vietnam, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said.

He said the expansion of Kuantan Port is timely as most of Malaysia’s development has been concentrated on the west coast. The project, developed under a twin-city programme with China, is expected to elevate the east coast as a new growth hub.
