The government will look into Pakistan’s proposal to export up to US$200mil worth of beef to Malaysia.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said this is part of efforts to enhance agricultural collaboration between Malaysia and Pakistan.
Meanwhile, his Pakistani counterpart Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif said the imported beef from Pakistan will meet halal certifications required by Malaysian customs and the Malaysian food authority.
00:00You are of course passionate on a few other issues and which you have seen my colleagues here collaborating.

01:08So I certainly welcome that, discuss with my team and we will certainly do that.

01:54will be regulated by market price mechanism, will be regulated by all halal certification required by Malaysian custom authorities and Malaysian food authorities
02:22and Malaysian consumers.
02:25And I want to assure you and guarantee you that we will make all possible efforts to meet all your conditionalities and terms and conditions.
