KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Industrial Development and Entrepreneurship Ministry (MIDE) plans to organise a Sabah Business Forum in Tokyo, Japan.
Sabah Industrial Development and Entrepreneurship Minister Datuk Phoong Jin Zhe said the forum aims to facilitate connections between entrepreneurs from Sabah and their counterparts in Japan, fostering collaboration and exchange.
This was among the matters discussed by him and the new Head of the Consular Office of Japan in Kota Kinabalu, Yamashita Yoshito who paid a courtesy call on him at his office here today.
Phoong hopes to have a robust partnership with Japan’s industry leaders to attract investments to Sabah.
Besides that, he aspired to glean insights from Japan’s industrialisation sector, with a specific emphasis on the green industry.
He also highlighted one of the Sabah Government’s key initiatives, focusing on the exploration and development of a diverse range of biomass-based products to bolster the downstream industry.
Phoong eagerly anticipates a close collaboration with Yamashita in joint endeavours directed towards the advancement and prosperity of Sabah.
He also shared insights gleaned from his recent visit to Tokyo.
