Kuala Lumpur, June 27: Malaysia government
is focusing on promoting the country as a safe and viable
investment centre as well as a popular tourist destination,
deputy foreign minister has said.
"The government, mainly through the foreign ministry,
will continue to counter the negative portrayal of the country
as an unsafe place", the minister told the country's lower
house of parliament yesterday.
He said despite the negative portrayal of Malaysia by
some foreign media, many industrialists were still interested
in investing in the country.
On Malaysia-United States relations after the invasion of
Iraq, he said although the two countries had a different
stance on several issues, "It should not harm the
long-established and mutually favourable relations between the
countries".
Malaysia's stand on the Iraq issue was based on law
and principles and not on anti-American sentiments, he added.
