VIENTIANE, June 27 – Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today invited Laos to tap into Malaysia’s halal expertise if it wishes to enter a larger market of Muslim consumers.
Speaking in a joint press conference with his Laotian counterpart Dr Sonexay Siphandone at the Laos Prime Minister’s Office here today, Prime Minister said by venturing into the halal industries, especially halal food, Laos could be able to expand its export business.
“We have a small advantage in the halal food industries, which I think you (Laos) should utilise so that you will be able to expand the export to the Muslim countries and the Middle East,” he said.
