KUALA LUMPUR: Outgoing European Union (EU) Ambassador to Malaysia Michalis Rokas says he is confident that the decision to restart negotiations on the stalled Malaysia-EU Free Trade Agreement (MEUFTA) is imminent.

"Having started the stock-taking exercise last year, the decision to restart talks on MEUFTA may take, at the maximum, a couple of months,” said Rokas, who will take up his new posting in North Macedonia on Sept 1, 2024, after a four-year stint in Malaysia.
