“We can stand to benefit from the vast network of MICCI, its collaboration with other Chambers, and having access to relevant and timely information, which is important for businesses,” pahayag ni Ambassador Jose. 

Dagdag pa ng Ambassador na ang pagbisita kamakailan ni Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim ay lalo pang nagpalakas sa relasyon ng dalawang bansa: 

“The recent visit of the Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim gave a very strong impetus to the economic, trade, and investment relations between the Philippines and Malaysia because the two sides identified new areas of cooperation as the two countries now move forward in the post-pandemic economic recovery effort. We are hoping to work with MICCI to realize these economic objectives of strengthening our bilateral trade and investment relations.”
