NEW trade and investment opportunities as well as peace and security topped the issues raised during the bilateral meeting of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. and Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim on Wednesday.
“We agreed to reinvigorate trade and investment exchanges with a special focus on halal industry, agriculture and food security and the digital economy,” Marcos said. Marcos recognized the important role of Malaysia in brokering the peace deal between the Philippine government and Islamic rebels. ALSO discussed at the meeting were measures to ensure peace and security in the Southeast Asian region, which includes rekindling the Philippine-Malaysia “joint commission meetings and initiatives to combat transnational crime and terrorism.”
Ibrahim expressed his concern with the “contentious and unresolved” issue in Myanmar after its military junta talked over its government in 2021, which has led to over 200,000 refugees escaping to Malaysia.
