\u201cTYT AlFadley and I see\u00a0a lot of potential for cooperation in the fields of agriculture and food industry that can be jointly explored.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI agree that Malaysia and Saudi Arabia should work together in the food security framework by establishing a joint committee to review as well as formulate policies on food safety,\u201d<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the meeting, the prime minister said AlFadley also touched on the prospect of \u2018reverse investment\u2019, which Malaysia could explore to address the issue of food security that is currently faced worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said the Saudi Arabian government had used the same concept with other countries, such as the United States, South American nations, Ukraine and Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTYT AlFadley feels\u00a0that this cooperation will be of great benefit to both nations…\u00a0even the Saudi Arabian leadership is ready to support food security initiatives between the two countries,\u201d<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ismail Sabri said Malaysia and Saudi Arabia have a special relationship that has been established for a long time, not only in the context of people-to-people relations but also covering wide economic ties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
