KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 8 (Bernama) -- Malaysia welcomes direct investment from Indonesian companies and encourages strategic collaborations such as mergers between companies owned by Malaysian and Indonesian entities, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
Anwar, who is also the Finance Minister, stated that this initiative will further strengthen bilateral relations between the two countries.
“I raised this matter during a courtesy visit from Sinar Mas chairman, Franky Oesman Widjaja, and his delegation this afternoon.
