Official: Green tech to boost China-Malaysia co-op

Green technology can be the new area where China and Malaysia can build collaboration in future, a Malaysian official said on Tuesday.

Malaysian Energy, Green Technology and Water Minister Peter Chin Fah Kui made this remark while closing the World Chinese Economic Forum near here.

Chin said while green technology was believed to be the new driver for Malaysia's economy, it also provided new impetus for China, paving ways for both nations to share knowledge together.

Green technology could also play a role in sustaining cooperative relationship between the two countries, added Chin.

Meanwhile, Chin said Malaysia was committed towards reducing the emission of greenhouse gases in the country.

Therefore, the Malaysian government had drawn up the National Green Technology Policy where the cabinet ministers were provided a venue to discuss matters pertaining to green technology.

The two-day forum drew some 300 participants China, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, the United States and China's Hong Kong and Taiwan.
