Malaysia aims to cut reliance on imported raw materials, says Tengku Zafrul

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is set to reduce its dependence on imported raw materials to avoid being caught in the crossfire of international trade wars, says Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz.

The Investment, Trade and Industry Minister said this strategy aims to shield the country from economic tensions, particularly those involving the United States, China and Russia.
