KUALA LUMPUR: Japanese companies are still keen on doing business in Malaysia and it is hoped that the Look East Policy which enters its 40th anniversary this year, will draw more Japanese investments.

Japanese Ambassador to Malaysia Takahashi Katsuhiko is confident of this scenario given Malaysia’s open economy that actively supports investments and international trade.
