PUTRAJAYA: The partnership between Malaysia and the Philippines is set to expand, particularly in the halal industry, where both countries are keen to take effective measures to penetrate international markets, particularly in the Middle East.

The two countries, which will be celebrating 60 years of diplomatic relations next year, have also agreed to intensify efforts to increase trade and investment volume.
