Policy Address

Deepen International Economic and Trade Networks

108. Our investment agreement negotiations with Qatar largely concluded in mid-2025. We will explore the signing of new investment agreements with Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh, Egypt and Peru. The Government will also continue to seek accession to the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) to expand our economic and trade network.

109. I will establish an Economic and Trade Office (ETO) in Kuala Lumpur this year to deepen economic and trade promotion in the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) and neighbouring countries, and will also expand the ETO coverage to Latin America and Central Asia.
