Malaysia remains attractive investment destination — Miti
June 12, 2015 , by admin2
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is still an attractive investment destination amid slumping oil prices and volatility of the ringgit. Ministry of International Trade and Industry (Miti) Secretary-General Datuk Dr Rebecca Sta Maria said foreign investors still viewed Malaysia as an investment destination of choice due to its conducive business environment. She said when an investors decided to locate their business in Malaysia, it was not just about the oil prices or the ringgit value, but also the business environment. It is about how easy it is to do a business here, how is the bureaucracy. If you can put that in place and make it easy (for them) to do business, it (falling oil prices and ringgit value) will not be an issue,” she told reporter after the opening of Shell Malaysia new office, Menara Shell, here yesterday. Commenting on Miti’s briefing on investment in Melaka on Wednesday, she said many foreign investors had shown interest to expand their businesses in Malaysia due to... Read More

KUALA LUMPUR, April 28 (Bernama) — The Performance Management and Delivery Unit (PEMANDU) has played a crucial role in attracting more investments, said International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed.

WTO head: Do what’s possible, not what’s ideal
June 12, 2015 , by admin2
KUALA LUMPUR: The World Trade Organisation (WTO) is not seeking “perfection” in the current round of talks, only what is “doable.” Director general Roberto Azevedo told a media briefing here on Wednesday that it was pushing for “doability” rather than perfection for the Doha Round of trade negotiations in the hope that it would be concluded in the foreseeable future. “Let’s go for what is doable; let’s not go for what is perfect or for what is desirable. Instead let’s go for what can be done at this point in time,” he said. “I think that the message is resonating and members are beginning to engage on that basis at this point in time.” Azevedo, a Brazilian, is on a two-day working visit in the country where he will pay a courtesy call to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and participate in a roundtable session organised by the Institute of Strategic and International Studies Malaysia on “The Role of the WTO for the Future”. The Doha Round, or... Read More

June 12, 2015 , by admin2
KUALA LUMPUR, 19 Mei (Bernama) — Ketua Pengarah Pertubuhan Perdagangan Dunia (WTO) Roberto Azevedo yakin Rundingan Doha 2008 dapat dimuktamadkan tidak lama lagi memandangkan negara anggota mula menunjukkan tanda-tanda penerimaan agenda yang dibincangkan. Tanpa menyatakan sasaran khusus, beliau berkata kini negara anggota lebih bersikap terbuka antara satu sama lain berbanding dua tahun lalu. “Semasa saya menyertai organisasi ini dua tahun lepas, tidak ada langsung perbualan mengenai semua ini. Sekarang mereka telah keluar dari zon selesa dan dalam mod mencari penyelesaian. “Ya, memang sangat sukar namun saya percaya ia boleh dicapai dan saya rasa kami kini dalam anjakan objektif daripada mendapatkan ‘perjanjian terbaik’ kepada ‘yang boleh’,” katanya kepada pemberita selepas menyampaikan syarahan ‘Faedah dan Kepentingan WTO kepada Perdagangan Antarabangsa dan Pembangunan Anggota’, di sini hari ini. Syarahan bersempena lawatan kerja dua hari beliau ke Malaysia...

Bincang isu tertangguh
June 12, 2015 , by admin2
Kuala Lumpur: Organisasi Perdagangan Dunia (WTO) menjangkakan Agenda Perbangunan Doha atau Perbincangan Doha dapat dimuktamadkan dalam masa terdekat apabila ahlinya mula menunjukkan keterbukaan untuk menerima isi kandungan dalam perbincangan itu yang tertangguh sejak 2008 di Doha. WTO yang dianggotai 161 negara termasuk Malaysia antara ahli yang terbabit dalam Agenda Pembangunan Doha bagi membincangkan pelbagai isu dagangan antarabangsa antaranya akses pasaran, perundangan WTO, isu pembangunan, kemudahan dagangan dan perkara lain. Namun, ia ditangguhkan pada 2008 apabila terdapat beberapa perkara yang tidak dipersetujui ahlinya. Ketua Pengarahnya, Roberto Azevedo berkata, sikap keterbukaan yang semakin baik dan meningkat dalam kalangan negara ahli membolehkan beberapa perkara tidak dipersetujui dapat dimuktamadkan. Beliau berkata, namun, jangkaan tempoh masa atau sasaran untuk memuktamadkan agenda itu tidak dapat diunjurkan buat masa ini. “Sejak saya menyertai organisasi ini... Read More
