ON Sept 12, Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak will meet President Donald Trump, to celebrate the 60th anniversary of ties between our two countries. It is customary on such occasions to speak about our common bonds, shared values and our success over the past six decades. I have no doubt the leaders will do so.
On this occasion, the meeting will have far more purpose. There are immediate and real economic opportunities for both America and Malaysia – both countries are looking to rebalance trade and economic policies that create more jobs and prosperity for our peoples. In essence, both sides, by working together, can achieve “Malaysia First” and “America First.”
