Malaysia can provide technical support for Pakistan's seafood industry as part of the move to boost business collaborations between the two countries.
"Malaysia can provide technologies for packaging and frozen food to help push Pakistan's seafood industry forward," Associated Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Malaysia Secretary General Tan Sri Soong Siew Hoong told reporters after a meeting with a delegation of seafood exporters from Pakistan here on Monday.
"This is the first delegation from Pakistan's seafood industry to come here and showed the country's initiative to be exposed to the global market," he said. "We hope that this will serve a platform for both countries to have a better understanding of the industry needs," he added.
Seafood comprised about two percent of Pakistan's exports to Malaysia last year and, Soong said, the country was hoping to export more seafood products to Malaysia.
Pakistan High Commission's Commercial Counsellor Shahzad Hussain Rana said on this occasion the country expected its total seafood production to reach 647,000 tonnes this year.
