Investors from all over the world, including China, are welcome to invest in Malaysia, and the country is looking forward to more Chinese tourists.
Mr. Lim said the China International Import Expo (CIIE) which is to be held in November in Shanghai is probably one of the most important international expos due to China’s stance as a manufacturing power in the world, thus it would provide important opportunity for not only Malaysia but all the participating countries.
