Apec: Malaysia to propose mechanism for safe travels across region, says PM


KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia will propose the creation of a supervisory mechanism to facilitate smooth and safe travels across the region, says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

Addressing the Apec (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) Economic Leaders’ Meeting (AELM) on Friday (Nov 12), he urged Apec members to collectively work towards realising this aspiration, considering that the reopening of borders will accelerate the recovery for the travel and tourism sectors that have been battered by the Covid-19 pandemic, thus contributing to general economic recovery.
