JOHOR BARU: Johor Ruler Sultan Ibrahim Ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar wants China to open a consulate office here in view of Johor’s position as the magnet for Chinese investment into Malaysia.

He said a China mission in the state would not only serve to strengthen prevailing businesses, trade and investments links, but would provide value-added services to China nationals already working or doing business here.
