Tengku Zafrul noted that the Canadian halal market, valued at C$1 billion (C$1=RM3.131), offers significant potential for Malaysian producers, particularly in food and beverage products.
“Malaysia can play an important role in meeting the needs of this market through strategic cooperation and increased investment in the halal industry, thus strengthening Malaysia’s position in this global industry,” he added.
Tengku Zafrul was also present during the meeting between Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and his Canadian counterpart, Justin Trudeau, on the margins of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Summit in Laos yesterday.
