MITI in the NewsMalaysia to Lead Conversations on ASEAN Economic

Integration at WEF 2015

Malaysia’s participation at this year World Economic Forum (WEF) reflects its commitment to shape the global trade agenda, and lead conversations on ASEAN economic integration, International Trade and Industry Minister Dato’ Sri Mustapa Mohamed said.

“This is an important year for Malaysia and as Chair of ASEAN, we must be in the forefront in ensuring the realisation of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC).

“We must take the opportunity to engage the international business community and civil society and lead by example,” he said in a statement Friday.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak will be attending the two-day forum from Jan 23 in Davos, Switzerland.

Najib, who is also Finance Minister, will be accompanied by Mustapa and Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Wahid Omar.

The delegation also includes several prominent Malaysian business leaders as well as heads of investment-related agencies.

One of the objectives of Malaysia’s participation at the forum is to promote Malaysia as the premier investment location and tourist destination in Asia.

It also aimed at promoting Kuala Lumpur as the premier location for multinational companies regional headquarters; to showcase Malaysia’s economic transformation success, and to highlight Malaysia’s role as Chair of ASEAN, specifically the emphasis on a people-centered ASEAN.

The Prime Minister will be participating in the following WEF sessions, namely the ASEAN Regional Business Council; the Informal Gathering of World Economic Leaders (IGWEL): ‘Defining the Imperatives for 2015’; and the ASEAN Leader session-Channel NewsAsia-TV Debate: “Creating the ASEAN Economic Community”.

Najib will be meeting several heads of state and chief executive officers of prominent global corporations with keen investment interests in Malaysia.

Apart from the meetings and speaking engagements, the Prime Minister and the ministers will also host roundtables with business leaders and a special event to promote Malaysia.

The WEF is an independent global forum for engagement and dialogue involving stakeholders from business and political fraternities, academia and other societal leaders to shape opinions on the global, regional and sectoral agenda.

The forum, under the theme “The New Global Context”, will discuss and address, among others, industry and business related issues in the context of current global economic scenario.

Malaysian Businessmen Told to Gear Up for ASEAN Competition

Local companies, both big and small, need to “up their game” and gear up for competition with the upcoming ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) this year.

“With the market liberalisation, we’re talking about an economic community,” said International Trade and Industry Ministry ASEAN Economic Cooperation Division, Senior Director P. Ravidran at a media roundtable yesterday on the impact of the ASEAN Free Trade Area on the commercial vehicle and logistics industry.

“The Government has put in place movements to remove barriers to trade, so it’s up to the private sector to take advantage and adjust their business models.”

He added that local companies could not just rely on the domestic market for growth. “You have to export and with the removal of barriers to trade, it’s not just for the big companies to benefit, but also small and medium-sized enterprises.”

According to reports, the 10-member ASEAN has completed over 83% or 366 out of 436 economic integration measures under the AEC. About 90% of the integration measures are expected to

be achieved by the end of this year. The AEC will be announced in November this year during the 27th ASEAN Summit. Ravidran noted that the local logistics sector could benefit significantly from the AEC. “As at 2013, intra-ASEAN trade is 24% but logistics is an important component of trade.

“If you want to grow, you have to ensure that there’s more trade taking place and logistics has to be efficient.” He added that the long term target was to grow intra-ASEAN trade to 34%. “Logistics is one of the 12 priority integration sectors in ASEAN. You have to move cargo efficiently and that saves cost for businesses. “So logistics shall and will remain an important component of international trade.”

The upcoming AEC is expected to promote the harmonisation of rules and ease trading within the region.

“We need harmonisation of rules. We can’t have 10 different standards,” he said. “If I were a company and I had to manufacture a product conforming to 10 different standards, it’s not economical.”

The roundtable was organised by Asian Trucker magazine and featured speakers from the logistics industry. Asian Trucker magazine editor Stefan Pertz noted that the Malaysian Government had an important role to play when it came to providing clear guidelines on cross border land transportation to the industry.

“This is to ensure there will be no confusion and hiccups for companies which are operating in their respective countries when goods are transported across borders.”

Mustapa Meets Counterpart In IndiaInternational Trade and Industry Minister Dato’ Sri Mustapa Mohamed met Indian Commerce and Industry Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and discussed the strong bilateral ties between the two nations.

Among others, India requested Malaysia, which is the current chair of ASEAN, to take up a more proactive role in the negotiations for the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) trade pact.

Mustapa said Malaysia considered the conclusion of the RCEP negotiations as one of the deliverables during Putrajaya’s chairmanship of the 10-member grouping.

There are ample political will to conclude the negotiations, he said during the 15-minutes meeting held on the sidelines of the Confederation of Indian Industry Partnership Summit 2015 here today.

RCEP is a proposed free trade agreement, which involves the 10 members of ASEAN and six other nations namely Australia, China, India, Japan, South Korea and New Zealand.

The negotiations for RCEP, which involves 3 billion people and a combined Gross Domestic Product of US$17 trillion, were formally launched in November 2012 at the ASEAN Summit in Cambodia.

Mustapa was also hopeful that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Malaysia this year.Source: Bernama, 16 January 2015
