00:00Today is quite a historic day because we are going to release the fresh durian from Malaysia for the first time.
00:23Previously, we could only export frozen durian from Malaysia to China.
00:33But starting from this year, we have obtained the license to start exporting fresh durian to China.
00:47This is a result of the visit of Mr. Dat Lee Chiang, the Premier of the People's Republic of China to Malaysia last June.
01:01Where we have approved the protocol for the necessary phytosanitary export of fresh durian from Malaysia to China.
01:13Today, we are going to export 20 metric tons of fresh durian to China.
01:19And there are four varieties, which are Musang King, Duri Hitam T24 and IOI.
01:29After this, we will also have an event to welcome this durian at Zhengzhou Airport in Henan Province, China.
01:41And after that, we have several programs, namely Taste of Malaysia, which will be held in Beijing and Shenzhen to welcome and export this fresh durian to China.
01:58So far, the reception is very good.
02:01In fact, China is only the eighth largest country to import durian from us.
02:09Because before this, we were only allowed to export frozen durian.
02:15But after this, we expect that there will be a very rapid increase in China's ability to export fresh durian.
02:33It's been quite frequent before this, but that is only for frozen durians.
02:37Now with the fresh durians, we can only export when the season comes.
02:41But we will try to be as frequent as possible according to the demand there.
02:45So Pharma is doing as much of the promotion activities as possible now.
02:49We are working together with the Ministry of Transport and they have been very helpful to arrange the logistics.
02:56This can be realized in just two months after the visit of the Chinese Prime Minister to Malaysia two months ago.
03:03And indeed, the agreement was signed when the visit of the Chinese Prime Minister, Li Qiang, to Kuala Lumpur in June last year.
03:12In just two months, all procedures have been approved by the authorities in China so that this fresh durian can cross the Chinese market.
03:22So it is very important that we have a strong logistical support through the special navigation of cargo.
03:31And all this needs to be sent through the air cargo.
03:35Because this fresh durian, if it is sent by ship, through the sea, it will not be valued.
03:42Because if it takes a week to arrive, it will not be valued.
03:46This fresh durian arrives on the same day.
03:49If today's flight arrives at Zhengzhou in five hours and arrives at the market on the same day, in 24 hours.
03:57So immediately, tomorrow morning, the market in Beijing already has this durian.
04:03So that's the speed we want to see.
04:06So this is very important in terms of logistics.
04:10And the Ministry of Transport has also tried to cooperate between our airport and the airport in Henan.
04:18In June last year, I also made a visit to the airport in Zhengzhou.
04:24And Zhengzhou is the main cargo airport in China.
04:28When it arrives at the airport in Zhengzhou, it has a very comprehensive logistical network.
04:34Through the train, through the truck, through various modes of transportation.
04:39So in less than 24 hours, as soon as it arrives in Zhengzhou, it can reach all over China.
04:44So this is an important joint effort.
04:47And in addition to giving great value to our durian market,
04:53by exporting this fresh durian, it also helps our logistics sector.
04:58And it will further develop our logistics sector.
05:01MHB has also established an MOU with the Henan Airport Group.
05:08And so that we want to make the concept of a twin air cargo hub.
05:14That is, the cargo hub in Zhengzhou is a hub for the Chinese market.
05:19Meanwhile, KLIA is a hub for Chinese products for the Asian market.
05:26This means that when they come, they can also bring cargo to get here.
05:31So that we can become a hub for the Asian market.
05:35So when it comes to KLIA, these products can also be sent all over Asia.
05:39We also have a large network network for ASEAN through our various cargo companies.
05:47They are not only cargo cargo companies, but also other passenger cargo companies.
05:52Other commercial airlines.
05:53They can also send.
05:54When a cargo boat enters here, it can break the boat.
05:57And it can be sent through the cargo belly.
06:00Through the networks of our cargo companies for the ASEAN market in particular.
06:06So I feel that this is a very important synergy.
06:10That is why we are trying to improve this collaboration.
06:14The MOU has been signed.
06:16But in terms of operation, we want to see more.
06:19So that this flight becomes frequent.
06:21Not just seasonal.
06:23But frequently.
06:24Occasionally.
06:25Maybe if possible, we want to see there are flights every day.
06:29Between KLIA and Zhengzhou.
