00:10to expand their services and products internationally.

00:19could serve as a catalyst for local Malaysian products and businesses to expand into the
00:24Chinese market.

00:33through today's event and actively participate in the CIIE.

01:07to increase their chances of success.
01:09We would like to welcome more Malaysian companies to participate in the future editions of CIIE
01:15and we hope that we will be able to accommodate the ambitious numbers that you announced just
01:21now and I think we will work with you to facilitate more Malaysian business investment in China.

01:35rubber exports, would also provide viable opportunities.
01:39610,000 tons were exported to China, accounting for more than 65% of your total exports.

02:23buyers and establish lasting trade and investment partnerships.
