KUCHING (Bernama) - The Minister of International Trade and Industry Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has urged the Sarawak manufacturing and Small and Medium Entrepreneur (SME) business community to reach greater heights by moving up their value chain in the global supply market and increasing their overall competitiveness.
Muhyiddin said that this could be achieved with Sarawakian companies making full use of Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE)'s various trade promotional activities, market access programmes and grants such as those for brand promotion and overseas trade missions.
"I believe that the presence of MATRADE's office in Kuching will further assist, encourage and incentivise Sarawakian exporters and SMEs to fully utilise the facilities, programmes, grants and services provided by MATRADE," he said.
The minister said this when co-officiating the opening of MATRADE's office here yesterday with the Chief Minister of Sarawak Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud.
He added MATRADE's office in Kuching was part of the initiatives by the government to intensify its services and deliverables to the Sarawak business community.
