Malaysian Ambassador to Germany, Datin Dr Adina Kamarudin explaining PM’s schedule during his stay in Germany at the “Curtain Raiser” session today. - BERNAMApix: Malaysia will be looking at enhancing its bilateral and business ties with Germany, its largest trading partner among European Union members when Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim undertakes a six-day visit to the country.
President Steinmeier made a state visit to Malaysia from Feb 16 to 19 last year, where he also visited two of Germany’s largest investors in Malaysia -- manufacturer of semiconductors Infineon and medical technology specialist B. Braun. Siemens Energy produces renewable energy from sun, wind, water and biomass, and the key player in the country’s energy transition employs about 26,000 workers.
“They are very comfortable with our One Stop Centre... the ease of doing business with agencies like MIDA, Immigration Department providing the necessary support, as well as the English speaking population,” she said. Anwar will also meet the Malaysian diaspora before attending prayers and Tarawih at Sehitlik Mosque during his stay in the capital.
Dr Adina said due to the Ukraine war which has affected Germany, especially the availability of cheap gas, the country is now looking at South East Asia to diversify its business.
