It's time for Malaysia-EU free trade agreement, says Anwar

It is about time for Malaysia and the European Union (EU) to rekindle discussion on a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) to further strengthen bilateral relations and regional integration, said Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.

“The time is ripe for us to rekindle discussions on the Malaysia-EU FTA,” he said, adding that with an FTA, Europe will be able to capitalise on Malaysia as a gateway to Asia.
