ISLAMABAD:
Malay Chamber of Commerce Malaysia (MCCM) urged the Malaysian entrepreneurs and businessmen to explore what it sees as “vast investment opportunities” in the surgical instruments, textile and leather sectors in Pakistan. “The chamber foresees a huge investment potential in Pakistan for Malaysian entrepreneurs to be explored in some sectors such as textiles, surgical instruments and halal leather goods,” said MCMM Deputy President Datuk Mohammad Alayuddin Hassan in an interview with a Malaysian newspaper Berita Harian after his return from Karachi where he attended the Expo Pakistan 2012 as part of a 57-member Malaysian delegation of businessmen and entrepreneurs. He said Pakistani textile products seemed like a very relevant item to be brought into the Malaysian market as they were of high quality and were cheaper compared to other textile producing countries. He further said that Pakistan was also using the same approach as Malaysia that was investor-friendly and aggressive marketing in promoting its products to the international markets.
