Expressing his pleasure to meet Vietnamese entrepreneurs and hear good signals from cooperation between the two countries’ businesses, the Malaysian Prime Minister suggested them to continue cooperation in many fields, including transportation, tourism, labour, which are being seriously affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and are expected to boom again in the coming time.
