KUCHING: The Sarawak government will continue to strengthen a competitive, inclusive and sustainable trade and investment ecosystem as part of its commitment towards making Sarawak a developed region by 2030.
Deputy Premier Datuk Amar Awang Tengah Ali Hasan emphasised that ongoing efforts to attract more investments and businesses to Sarawak have shown positive results, thanks to the wisdom of the state’s leadership and business-friendly policies.
The government, he said, is focused on ensuring that economic growth benefits all levels of society while driving innovation and expanding global trade networks.
“Sarawak’s success as a progressive investment hub and a trusted trade destination is the result of close cooperation between the government, the private sector, and the people who stand united.
