TOKYO: Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s working visit to Japan in conjunction with the Asean-Japan Commemorative Summit has managed to attract potential investments worth RM6.56 billion.
Based on the meetings with parties there, including Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, Anwar said it was clear that Malaysia-Japan relations are now seeing a new shift in terms of investment cooperation, trade, education and technology.
“The visit to Japan has been a success to be proud of, managing to attract potential investments valued at RM6.56 billion,” he told a press conference at the end of his visit to Japan here today.
Along with potential investments worth RM23 billion secured during the previous Malaysian delegation’s visit to Japan in June, it brings the cumulative potential investments from visits to the Land of the Rising Sun to RM29.56 billion.
Three Japanese corporations with investments in Malaysia, namely Rohm Wako, NEC Co Ltd and Mitsui & Co, have also conveyed their willingness to increase investments during one-on-one meetings on Saturday. - FMT
