TOKYO -- Malaysia is seeking legal harmonization among ASEAN member states on issues pertaining to cross-border commercial disputes, insolvencies and other business issues, which its law minister says is crucial to support trade and investment in the region.
Azalina Othman Said, Malaysia's minister of law and institutional reform, told Nikkei Asia on Friday that these will be among key topics at the ASEAN Law Forum, which her country -- as chair of the bloc -- will host in Kuala Lumpur in August.
