KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 3 (Bernama) -- Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, fresh from a working trip abroad, has pledged to commit himself to making further economic reforms to strengthen Malaysia's investment appeal.
The prime minister said that on his visit to the United States, he briefed corporate leaders, fund managers and potential investors on Malaysia as a worthwhile investment destination.
"The feedback that I received from the financial community was that, while our "Malaysian story" is attractive, we could do more to draw global investors to our capital markets.
"I have taken this message on board and will commit to making further economic reforms to strengthen our investment appeal," he said in his blog, www.1malaysia.com.my.
After visiting the United States, he went to Trinidad and Tobago to attend the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM).
In the United States, Najib had meetings with UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon; Steve Forbes, president of Forbes Inc., and Gene Daley, president of Motorola Enterprise Mobility Solutions.
Najib said he was convinced that the forthcoming economic reforms would mark the beginning of a new chapter of the "Malaysian story", with economic relations between Malaysia and the US set to progress in a very constructive way.
"My stopover in New York and Washington DC, en route to the Commonwealth summit, was brief but fruitful," he said.
The prime minister said that in between these trips, he was very encouraged when he browsed through the responses to his Facebook page.
"My office and I will be looking into some programmes in due course to interact further with my newfound 'friends'," he said.
Before flying to the United States and Trinidad and Tobago, Najib attended the APEC summit in Singapore, where "I discussed potential free trade agreements (FTAs) in bilateral meetings with President Michelle Bachelet Jeria of Chile and Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd".
"Closer to home, recent visits by President Hu Jintao of China and President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono of Indonesia point to a brighter future in bilateral relations between our countries," he said.
