KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 19 -- Malaysia has agreed in principle to exempt some Palestinian agricultural and food products from customs duties, the Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz.
“Malaysia stands firmly behind Palestine to help rebuild its economy and establish the foundations for socio-economic recovery.
“We look forward to working closely with our Palestinian partners to deliver tangible mutual benefits for our people,” he said during a memorandum of understanding (MoU) exchange between Malaysia and Palestine on trade and economic cooperation here today.
The MoU was exchanged between MITI secretary-general Datuk Hairil Yahri Yaacob and Palestinian ambassador to Malaysia Walid Abu Ali, and witnessed by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. — Bernama

DeleteWakakaka... virtually all Palestinian exports go through Israel, especially the port of Haifa and a lesser amount through Eilat.
ReplyDeleteOnly consumables directly consigned to Jordan go through the Jordanian border.
Malaysia pursuing Palestinian imports may well be forced to partially rescind it's ban on goods originating from Israeli ports, as well as the ban on the Israeli shipping company Zin...wakakaka again.
