SHAH ALAM, AUG 17: Selangor is increasingly becoming the focus of world economic superpowers as there has been a rise in the number of foreign countries interested to send their representatives and meet the State Government in the past 2 years.
Menteri Besar Dato’ Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali said that this was based on the fact that he had received four courtesy visits from foreign delegations, including the United States and Britain in less than a month.
“It’s a positive development, as I’ve met with a few representatives from big countries like the United States Ambassador, and I’ve discussed at length with the British High Commissioner and now, with New Zealand and Singapore too.
“This exhibits yet again their confidence with the State Government’s administration that is not only able to ensure transparency and accountability in administration but also Selangor’s ability to spur a sustainable economic growth and development,” he said.
Mohamed Azmin told SelangorKini after receiving a courtesy call from New Zealand High Commissioner and the Singaporean delegation, led by their Senior Minister at the Menteri Besar’s Office, State Secretary Building.
This clearly showed that the talent pool in Selangor is capable of widening its business opportunities and trade between Selangor and foreign countries.
“The confidence of foreign countries lies with Selangor, and the State Government continues to play its role in ensuring that Selangor becomes Malaysia’s main economic contributor in the future,” he added.
