Bernama photo KUALA LUMPUR: South Korea is keen to tap
into Malaysia’s success in the halal industry by strengthening collaboration in
the sector, especially in Malaysia’s globally recognised halal certification. Visiting President Moon Jae-in in his
speech during the Malaysia-Korea Business Forum yesterday said that the Korean
wave, known as Hallyu, has opened doors for its local businesses, and with
Malaysia’s halal expertise, the two countries could forge a stronger strategic
partnership. “Malaysia’s halal certification is
recognised globally and with this partnership, it can reach a bigger market
that has demand for halal (products and services),” he said. The cooperation between Malaysia and South
Korea has the strategic aim of enhancing halal bilateral trade and investment
exchanges, as well as market access for halal products and services. “Unlimited economic benefits can be
obtained between the two countries especially in the halal market segment,
foreign direct investment as well as technology,” he said. As for collaboration in the Information
Technology sector, Moon said South Korea would build a virtual reality (VR)
centre at the ongoing Smart City project in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. The centre is expected to boost technology
adaptation by both South Korea and Malaysia, he said. Moon also said the strong economic
relations forged between the two countries will continue to strengthen under
Malaysia’s Look East Policy and South Korea’s New Southern Policy. “(It) will reach a new horizon in economic
advancement,” he said. Meanwhile, Minister of International Trade
and Industry Datuk Darell Leiking said as of September 2018, a total of 371
manufacturing projects with Korean participation worth US$7.79 billion (RM31.84
billion) have been implemented. “These projects have provided more than
52,000 job opportunities for the country. Much has been achieved together but
there is still a lot more that we can do together,” he said. He added that Malaysia is truly a land of
opportunities, not just for investors but also for anyone with the spirit of
entrepreneurship. “It is my hope that through our forum, all
of you here will be encouraged to further capitalise on Malaysia’s comparative
and competitive advantages to cater for the Asean and global markets,” he said.
