Singapore DPM arrives in Malaysia

He is also slated to co-chair the Third Annual Ministerial Dialogue (AMD) between MITI and Singapore’s Ministry of Trade and Industry and meet Economy Minister Akmal Nasrullah Mohd Nasir in Putrajaya.

The Third AMD will focus on strengthening bilateral cooperation in investment, trade and the economy, particularly in supply chain resilience and the halal industry, amid an increasingly complex and uncertain global geo-economic and geopolitical environment.

A key outcome expected from the dialogue is the adoption of the Terms of Reference for the Malaysia-Singapore Supply Chain Working Group, aimed at enhancing supply chain resilience, coordinating crisis responses, facilitating the cross-border movement of goods, and minimising disruptions to both countries’ supply chains.
