KUALA LUMPUR (Nikkei Markets) -- Malaysia, fresh from signing a free trade pact involving 11 Pacific-rim countries, will now focus on concluding talks on Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, or RCEP to help secure new growth engines for the trade-reliant economy.
The government has already begun taking steps to amend laws to pave way for implementation of Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) "as early as possible," International Trade Minister Mustapa Mohamed said in a statement.
