PETALING JAYA:
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim today held high-level meetings with business leaders from Google, Nestle, AstraZeneca, Fortescue, DP World and Medtronics at the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

In a post on Facebook, Anwar said the meetings were aimed at exploring investment and trade opportunities.

He said the meetings were an integral part of the government’s sustained efforts to engage and entice foreign investors to Malaysia.

“This was a good session to discuss and explore various opportunities for business collaboration,” he said.

Anwar is currently leading the Malaysian delegation on a three-day working visit to the WEF, his first participation in the summit since taking office in 2022.

During his five-day working trip to the UK which ended last Saturday, Anwar met with several major British corporations, including Standard Chartered and Jaguar Land Rover.

He said the visit attracted RM11 billion in potential investments across various sectors, including renewable energy and the digital economy.

Anwar also said the export potential to be generated over the next five years amounts to RM500 million, encompassing products such as aircraft equipment and components, furniture, and food and beverage.
