Halal Food Sector In Vietnam Offers Promising Investment Prospects: HANOI, Sept 8 -The halal food industry is the latest investment prospect that can grow rapidly in Vietnam following the increase in Muslim tourist arrivals especially from Malaysia. Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Jamil Khir Baharom said the entrance of any Malaysian companies to invest in Vietnam was strongly supported by the country and this should become the stepping stone for halal industry pioneers to explore the investment opportunities here. “I see there’s a lot of room in the halal industry that can be explored in Vietnam considering it has just started. “This is the best opportunity for any Malaysian companies in the halal industry to expand their business especially in the main towns in Vietnam,” he said to reporters here today. Jamil Khir is the minister-in-attendance in conjunction with the four-day visit by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Abdul Halim Mu’adzam Shah and Raja Permaisuri Agong Tuanku Hajah Haminah to Vietnam, which ended today. Jamil Khir said the international flight schedule especially from Malaysia to the big towns in Vietnam has increased daily and more companies were urged to invest particularly in the halal sector to facilitate Muslims to get halal food here. He said the outcome of the visit by Yang di-Pertuan Agong was that the close diplomatic relations between the two countries could be strengthend besides enhancing the Malaysia-Vietnam economic relations which started since 40 years ago. He said the meeting between Tuanku Abdul Halim and Vietnam President Truong Tan Sang yesterday gave a positive impact for Malaysian investors to continue to do business here as the visit offered promising business opportunities following the improving economy here. “President Truong is impressed with the achievement by Petronas in the oil and gas industry and hoped the cooperation in the industry can strengthen the economy of both countries in the future,” he said. Vietnam is one of the contributors to the imports of raw materials such as coffee and rice to Malaysia and has a population of about 90 million, making manufacturing and plantation as the main industries here due to availability of a huge number of local workers.-MediaUMNO dlvr.it/3wwsdb
