MITI looks forward to working closely with the private sector to facilitate discussions that could advance industry, trade and investments in this region. Further, in preparation for Malaysia\u2019s impending Chairmanship of ASEAN in 2025, our Priority Economic Deliverables (PEDs) should focus on advancing Malaysia\u2019s interest and ASEAN\u2019s effort in establishing ASEAN as an integrated single market that is sustainable, competitive, innovative, and responsive to future challenges so that our economies and people can continue to thrive and prosper.\u201d&#8221;][tm_spacer size=&#8221;xs:15;lg:20&#8243;][tm_heading tag=&#8221;div&#8221; custom_google_font=&#8221;&#8221; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Poppins%3A300%2Cregular%2C500%2C600%2C700|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&#8221; text_color=&#8221;custom&#8221; custom_text_color=&#8221;#222222&#8243; el_class=&#8221;text-aaa&#8221; text=&#8221;ASEAN-BAC Malaysia\u2019s Chairman, Tan Sri Nazir Razak said, \u201cWe are extremely grateful for the support of these regional companies.
