PETALING JAYA: The international trade and industry ministry, commonly known as Miti, has been renamed as the investment, trade and industry ministry.

Miti said the decision to rebrand the ministry was made by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim at a Cabinet meeting last week.

It said the rebranding was in line with the ministry’s function of encouraging foreign investment, boosting domestic investment, strengthening international trade, and empowering sustainable industrial development.
