CORONAVIRUS | Malaysia will donate eight tonnes of food to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), says Deputy Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs minister Rosol Wahid.
The donation is in return of the country's Covid-19 test kits donation to Malaysia which has implemented the movement control order due to the pandemic.
"UAE donated Covid-19 test kits to us and we reply by sending them food as a show of gratitude," he told the media at a food bank centre in Kajang today.
The food supply will include sugar, sardine, ketchup, and bread, but Rosol said the priority would be on canned food.
The Terengganu MP said he was unsure of the number of test kits that UAE was sending but it is expected to arrive this week.
On Tuesday, Foreign Affairs Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said Wisma Putra was in negotiation with UAE to obtain test kits.
The trade was based on a good relationship between the two countries. - Mkini
