Malaysia has secured RM4 billion in potential investments and RM675 million in potential exports during Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s trade and investment mission to France on July 4.
In a statement, the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry (MITI) said Anwar met with 40 French industry representatives, with many expressing interest in investing in high-tech manufacturing, aerospace, renewable energy, tourism, digital economy, and sustainable infrastructure.
The sectors align with the goals of the New Industrial Master Plan 2030 and the Green Investment Strategy.
The RM675 million in export potential covers high-impact industries such as aerospace, automotive, renewable energy, pharmaceuticals, digital economy, lifestyle, and halal industries.
Companies reaffirmed their confidence in Malaysia’s stable, dynamic, and investor-friendly ecosystem, skilled workforce, robust supply chains, and consistent policies.
The mission also included MITI Minister Tengku Zafrul, and officials from MIDA and MATRADE.
Tengku Zafrul said the mission’s success reflects continued confidence by foreign investors in Malaysia’s policies and competitiveness. The investment and trade opportunities will benefit local SMEs and create high-value jobs for Malaysians, advancing the MADANI economic transformation agenda.
Anwar is on an official working visit to Italy, France, and Brazil from July 1–8, accompanied by several senior ministers.
