US to deepen economic partnership with Malaysia - Blinken

KUALA LUMPUR : United States intends to deepen economic partnership with Malaysia as part of the country's focus on delivering stability, growth and innovation in this part of the region.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the US is working to build a new economic framework for the entire Indo-Pacific region of which they are a part of, and he believed Malaysia will also benefit from.

"This will facilitate trade and help us take advantage of the digital economy that is affecting so much of our lives," said Blinken.

He said this during a video call with Astro AWANI's Editor-In-Chief Ashwad Ismail during the first day of his two-day visit to Malaysia.
