During a recent visit to Tokyo, Malaysia's trade minister called for further investment into the Southeast Asian country, which is celebrating the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations with Japan this year.

In a seminar titled "Business opportunities in Malaysia" on April 12 at the Hotel New Otani, Malaysia's Minister of International Trade and Industry Mustapa Mohamed said his country is very well suited as an investment destination, citing various incentives, including political stability, strong economic fundamentals and solid infrastructure.

He stressed that companies can move into Malaysia, using it as a base for key strategic functions such as treasury management, procurement and operational headquarters for business in Southeast Asia.
