We can maximize the benefits of the growing economic relationship, and we have concrete proposals. We plan to hold bilateral meetings with your ministers on imports and exports. Malaysia has a huge commodity market and has become a regional hub for computer chip manufacturing, with significant investments from the US, Europe, particularly Germany, and China. We believe we can share our experience in this field and learn from your successful transformation efforts. Of course, there are some specific areas [of interest] such as the halal industry, we are also keen on exploring the prospects of Islamic banking.
