    “Australia has a great desire to be a part of the ASEAN story,” continued Dato Sr Peter, and from the perspective of MABC, “stands committed to being the all-important bridge between the two business communities in the respective countries.”

    “Looking forward, the Malaysia Australia Business Council will continue to focus on areas of strategic business importance to the bilateral relationship. A relationship that has been built on the back of countless person-to-person interactions. At the forefront of that relationship is the educational linkages which boost two-way investments at the institutional level and the Australian government’s commitment to Asia through the New Colombo Plan,” concluded Dato Sr Peter.
