\u201cMalaysia called on APT countries to continue promoting rules-based multilateral trading systems, and to capitalise on existing Free Trade Agreements (FTA) and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP) towards securing a resilient future and enduring shared prosperity,\u201d<\/em> the ministry said in its\u00a0tweet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The meeting had also discussed efforts\u00a0to increase awareness and preparedness of APT countries in facing imminent challenges such as food and energy security, sustainable agriculture, climate change and supply change disruptions due to the economic downturn, through existing ASEAN-led mechanism including APT Emergnecy Rice Reserve (APTERR), the Chiang Mai Initiative Multilateralisation (CMIM) and the ASEAN+3 Bond Market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
