Good ties with others generating great opportunities for Malaysia

Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said Malaysia's good relations with other countries generated ample opportunities to the country.

The prime minister noted that an increasing number of countries were opening their doors to Malaysian investment.

"More and more countries are opening their doors to Malaysia to invest in. Our good relations are breeding great opportunities," he tweeted on Monday.

Najib is currently on a four-day working visit to the United Kingdom, aimed at strengthening the good relations between the two countries.

Prior to that, the prime minister led the Malaysian delegation at the Global Smart Partnership Dialogue themed, 'Leveraging Technology For Africa's Socio-Economic Transformation', in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania.

Najib also tweeted that Tanzania's Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) blueprint was ready.

Noting that the document had adapted the best practice gleaned from Malaysia's own ETP to suit Tanzania's needs, he hoped it would be implemented successfully.

Najib also said he had a good discussion with Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni which touched on their shared interests.

Meanwhile, the prime minister further tweeted that 40,000 Malaysian housewives would be trained under the 1Malaysia Support for Housewives programme.

"It will be a good opportunity for them to increase household income," he said.
