GREEN TECHNOLOGY TO HELP SUSTAIN MALAYSIA-CHINA TIES, SAYS CHIN

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 17 (Bernama) -- Malaysia's pro-business and
market-friendly approach will lead more China-based firms to explore the
possibility of investing in various sectors here, Energy, Green Technology and
Water Minister Peter Chin Fah Kui said Tuesday.

Therefore, Chin said, green technology could play a role in sustaining
cooperative relationship and knowledge-sharing between the two countries.

"I am confident that green technology will emerge as a new driver for
economic growth in Malaysia and that it will also provide the impetus for growth
in China," he said in his address at the World Chinese Economic Forum here.

Chin said through the National Green Technology Policy, the application of
green technology components was promoted either directly or indirectly to
several areas, including foreign investments.

He said the policy would therefore apply and implement green technology
effectively in several core sectors such as energy, buildings, water and waste
management, and transportation.
