The agri companies we assembled for this visit covered so much ground. They visited a tissue culture lab at KLK Bhd in Selangor, then met with Aerodyne in Cyberjaya to see how AI can aid farming, then to the Sime Darby plantation in Carey Island and Farm Fresh in UPM Sendang. We were wholeheartedly received by Malaysia’s Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security and given much support by our Malaysian private sector counterparts, led by ABAC Malaysia chairman Tan Sri Nazir Razak and B2B Connect Initiative chairman and former Malaysia trade minister Dato’ Sri Mustapa Mohamed. Our Ambassador to Malaysia, Ma. Angela Ponce, was there with us every step of the way. With her help, we will be able to follow through on all the amazing groundwork we have done these past few days.
This was the icing on the cake of my visit to KL last week, which was to attend the 100th meeting of the ASEAN Business Advisory Council. ASEAN-BAC focuses on assessing and pinpointing matters that facilitate and advance economic cooperation and integration. Our activities these past few years, and these past few days particularly, showcase the actions we are taking to create a future of prosperity for the ASEAN.
