Malaysia, Thailand targeted

COMMERCE and Trade Minister Hendy Cowan has led trade missions to Thailand and Malaysia to investigate a range of emerging trade opportunities.

Mr Cowan said many countries in the region were undergoing structural reform in the wake of the Asian economic crisis and WA companies could help meet specific needs allied to the process.

The mission examined opportunities for WA providers to help meet Thailand’s training objectives.

Mr Cowan also visited Malaysia with representatives from five WA information technology companies.
