Press Release

 

Pak-Malaysia trade hits $2.8 billion mark, says Pak envoy to Malaysia

Pakistan's High Commissioner to Malaysia, Masood Khalid has said the bilateral trade between Pakistan and Malaysia has reached US$2.8 billion, registering an impressive 14 per cent increase last year.

"We are happy that the bilateral trade has increased steadily but Pakistan's share in the bilateral trade is only US$257 million which has tilted the balance of trade heavily in favour of Malaysia ... we're looking to balance this gap by increasing export to Malaysia especially of rice, mangoes and beef," he said in an exclusive interview with Bernama News Agency on the eve of 72nd Pakistan Day being commemorated on Friday.

He said Pakistan would also like to invite more Malaysian companies to expand their business in Pakistan especially in the construction industry and exploring untapped business opportunities in fields such as gems and salt industry. 

He said Pakistan was also looking to strengthen bilateral ties with Malaysia in education and manpower supply. "We have around 3,500 students in top universities in Malaysia and are hoping to increase it ... the majority of our students study in information technology, engineering and natural sciences," he said, adding there was already an effort being made by the local Malaysian universities to pick up and groom talented Pakistani students for the local industry.

To a question, he said there were approximately 38,000 Pakistanis working in various industries and sectors in Malaysia and Pakistan was willing to supply more skilled and semi-skilled manpower to contribute towards Malaysia's development.

Mr. Masood Khalid said Pakistan was also keen to enhance cooperation in the tourism industry where both countries were rich with interesting places to visit. "Besides interesting places, we have many similarities in our rich culture, food and language which we can use to boost our tourism industry," he said.

He said energy and green technology were other sectors in which Pakistan was looking to cooperate with Malaysia. "Malaysia is more advanced than us regarding green technology and we're looking for a way to cooperate in developing more green technology. We have a lot of green technology's raw material like paddy husk," he said.

The High Commissioner said Pakistan was also hoping to see more interaction and cooperation between the media from both countries. "I would like to see more Malaysian journalists come to Pakistan to make the coverage and vice versa. The people in both countries want to know what happens in each other's region. "Besides the media, I would also like to see more linkage between think-tanks in both countries so that we can develop and go forward together," he added.

To a query, he said Pakistan was looking into the possibility of getting Malaysian Halal Certificate to boost its export of halal products to Malaysia especially beef. He said the prices of meat and beef in Pakistan were cheaper and the supply was abundant. "Our meat and beef are cheaper and the Pakistan's reserves of meat and beef are also sufficient. We have to work together to get Malaysian halal certificate and we don't have any problem supplying halal food because we're Muslim producers," he said.

 "Stop TB in our lifetime,


Dear Media Colleagues,

World TB Day, falling on March 24th each year, is designed to build public awareness that tuberculosis today remains an epidemic in much of the world, causing the deaths of several million people each year, mostly in developing countries. It commemorates the day in 1882 when Dr Robert Koch astounded the scientific community by announcing that he had discovered the cause of tuberculosis, the TB bacillus. At the time of Koch's announcement in Berlin, TB was raging through Europe and the Americas, causing the death of one out of every seven people. Koch's discovery opened the way towards diagnosing and curing TB.


The UN Secretary-General issued the following message on this Day:

"For too long, tuberculosis has not received sufficient attention. The result of this neglect is needless suffering: in 2010 alone, nearly 9 million people fell ill with TB and 1.4 million died, with 95 per cent of these deaths occurring in developing countries. These numbers make tuberculosis the second top infectious killer of adults worldwide.

The impact reverberates far beyond the individuals directly affected. TB takes a heavy toll on families and communities. Millions of children have lost their parents. Children who are exposed to sick family members are at high risk of contracting the disease. Far too many go untreated, since TB is often difficult to diagnose and treat in children.  That is why this year we should aim to expand awareness of how children are affected by the disease.

It is critical to support those who lack the means to respond with the care and treatment they need to enjoy healthy and productive lives.

With the right interventions, we can make a major difference. We know how to end all forms of TB, including multi-drug resistant TB – which has emerged in most countries – before it leads to severe manifestations that are costly to treat and cause additional suffering. Where we have taken strong and proven measures, the number of people falling ill with TB has declined markedly.
 

The World Health Organization reports that our concerted efforts have helped to cut death rates by 40 per cent since 1990. Forty-six million people have been cured and seven million lives have been saved since 1995 thanks to the efforts of the United Nations, governments, donors, civil society groups, private partners, public health experts, and tens of thousands of health workers and affected families and communities.

Now is the time to be even more ambitious and "Stop TB in our lifetime," the theme of this year's World TB Day.

I call for intensified global solidarity to ensure that all people are free from fear of tuberculosis and its devastating effects. Let us vow to end the neglect of TB and to end deaths from this disease in our lifetime." (#)
