“Talks on the Malaysia-European Union Free Trade Agreement (MEUFTA) are starting soon once all members of the European Union’s negotiation team arrive in Malaysia, said Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz.”
” ‘Once concluded, this agreement will deepen industrial linkages, strengthen supply chains, and foster a resilient, mutually beneficial partnership between Malaysia and France,’ he said during the Malaysia-France Gala Night dinner organised by the Malaysian French Chamber of Commerce and Industry last night.”
“According to Tengku Zafrul, 149 projects with French companies have been implemented in Malaysia as of June 2025, amounting to RM6.3 billion and creating over 12,000 jobs.”
“He noted that France is Malaysia’s fourth-largest investor and also its fourth-largest trading partner. French companies’ investment in Malaysia is not just capital; it speaks to confidence in collaboration and a shared ambition.”
