M'SIAN COMPANIES OFFERED BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES IN NAM COUNTRIES
SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt, July 17 (Bernama) -- Egypt, Sudan and Iraq are
inviting Malaysian firms and experts to take up opportunities to trade and be
involved in the development process in the northern African and West Asian
nations.
The invitations were conveyed by leaders of the three countries during
bilateral discussions with Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak on the sidelines
of the 15th Summit Meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) which ended
Thursday at this Red Sea resort city.
Najib said President Hosni Mubarak wanted Cairo-Kuala Lumpur bilateral ties
to be boosted especially in the field of medical studies and the marketing of
Proton cars in Egypt.
He said he had also invited the Egyptian leader to visit Malaysia during the
World Islamic Economic Forum in May next year.
Meanwhile, Sudanese President Omar Al-Bashir sought Malaysia's assistance in
setting up a university in the African country.
Najib said he would ask Higher Education Minister Khalid Nordin to study the
proposal.
Meanwhile, the Prime Minister said Iraq regretted that Malaysia was not
aggressive in grabbing business opportunities in the war-torn nation although
many companies from other countries were busy looking for opportunities there.
"I had expressed the fear of the Malaysian corporate sector about security
in that country and suggested that a seminar be held in Kuala Lumpur on
investments in Iraq," he said about his meeting with Iraqi vice-president Tarik
Al-Hashimi.
Najib had also met Nepalese Prime Minister Madav Kumar and discussed
Nepalese work force in Malaysia and the possibility of establishing air links
between Kuala Lumpur and Kathmandu.
In addition, Najib had also met Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and
Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa.
On NAM, the Prime Minister said he hoped the movement would take the
opportunity from the change in the United States administration which was now
adopting a more open stand to convey the aspirations of the NAM member nations.
The Prime Minister and his wife later departed for Jeddah for a four-day
working visit to Saudi Arabia.
