"We choose Kazakhstan as the result of our first encounter with the country last year, especially in the oil and gas sector.
"That first meeting generated sales of more than RM30 million and we are going in again to secure more collaborations," MATRADE Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Datuk Zakaria said in a statement here today.
He believed that the few Malaysian companies that are currently operating in Kazakhstan will serve as an impetus for other local businesses to grow further there.
