Japan, Malaysia agree to boost economic relations

Ha Noi (VNA) – Visiting Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and his Malaysian counterpart Abdullah Ahmad Badawi on August 24 agreed to widen bilateral ties in the economy and human resources, and to boost security cooperation.

During their talks in Kuala Lumpur, the Malaysian prime minister supported a proposal by PM Abe to set a goal of halving global greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

The two leaders pledged to up joint efforts to tackle regional and international challenges, while further expanding their countries' ties in human resource development and close economic relations.

They called for a prompt conclusion of a regional free trade agreement between Japan and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.

Since the Japan-Malaysia FTA took effect in July last year, bilateral trade has topped double-digit growth and Japanese investment in Malaysia has increased roughly fivefold.

On the occasion, PM Abdullah called for deeper Japanese involvement in developing economic zones in Malaysia 's southern and northern regions.-Enditem
