KUALA LUMPUR, 21 Mar 2017 - InvestKL recently participated in the “One Belt, One Road’ seminar in Kunming to encourage Yunnan enterprises to leverage on the advantages of Greater Kuala Lumpur’s (Greater KL) business environment, multi-lingual talents and its ecosystem strengths as the ideal investment destination in the Asia Pacific region.

The seminar, organised by Yunnan Provincial Energy Investment Group Co. Ltd and Deloitte Southeast Asia Ltd aims to promote the development of economic and trade cooperation between China and Malaysia and the business exchanges between entrepreneurs.

InvestKL Senior Manager of Investor Relations, Ms Peggy Wong in her address to over 100 participants, including Yunnan’s government investment agencies and Yunnan’s renowned large companies, invited Yunnan companies to invest in Greater KL and capitalise on Greater KL’s propositions.

“Greater KL is strategically located in the heart of ASEAN and being an important node in the OBOR Initiative, it offers many compelling value propositions for organisations to expand their businesses from KL,” she said.

InvestKL attracted 13 MNCs in 2016 and two are from China: commodity trader Amer International Group and China Railway DongFang Group, part of China Railway Group Ltd, one of the largest multi-functional integrated construction groups in China and Asia.
