KUALA LUMPUR: The Bumiputra Economic Congress 2024 that begins on Thursday will be different from previous congresses by including the non-bumiputra participants to ensure that economic issues affecting the Malays and the bumiputra are not discussed in isolation of the national agenda, says Mara chairman Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki.

He said leaders from Malay-based Opposition parties in Perikatan Nasional have also been invited to attend the congress as the issue of the bumiputra economy goes beyond party lines.
