KUALA LUMPUR, March 27 — Qatari companies have been urged to take advantage of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership by partnering with Malaysian companies and subsequently being part of the new regional economic landscape.
The RCEP covers 15 countries with a combined population of 2.3 billion people or 30 per cent of the world’s population, accounting for about 30 per cent of the global gross domestic product . “To give our bilateral trade a new impetus, I proposed that Malaysia and Qatar set a trade target of US$1 billion by 2025.
“Malaysia and Qatar will also continue to work on the Investment Guarantee Agreement to encourage more cross-border investments between the two countries as we strive for a strong and sustainable economic recovery,” he said.
Whoa... not sure if it's misreported, but seems like wrong choice of words shouldn't it have been inviting instead of urging?
