Free trade agreement another boost to business

Sino-Malaysian trade will reach a new high this year, said the Malaysian ambassador to China.

"In recent years, Malaysia has remained China's largest trading partner in ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations). And I am confident that bilateral trade this year will reach greater heights given that trade volume in the first seven months reached over 67 percent of the total in 2010," said Datuk Iskandar Sarudin, Malaysian Ambassador to China.

The bilateral trade relationship is deepening, he explained.
