KUALA LUMPUR, June 18 – Malaysia has successfully secured RM4.68 billion in potential investments from Japan during its participation at Expo 2025 Osaka, announced the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA).
This marks a major milestone, contributing to over half of the RM7.39 billion in total leads garnered so far, reinforcing Malaysia’s position as a hub for clean growth, innovation, and sustainability in ASEAN. The announcement was made at the official opening of the Malaysia Pavilion, officiated by Deputy Prime Minister YAB Dato’ Sri Fadillah Yusof and attended by Deputy MITI Minister YB Liew Chin Tong.
