Concluding Remarks by the Chairperson of the Trade Policy Review Body, H.E. Mr. Juan Carlos González of Colombia at the Trade Policy Review of Malaysia, 14 and 16 February 2018

The seventh Trade Policy Review of Malaysia has offered us a good opportunity to deepen our understanding of its trade and investment policies. I would like to thank the Malaysian delegation, led by H.E. J. Jayasiri, Secretary General of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, for its constructive engagement throughout this Review. I would also like to thank the discussant, H.E. Ambassador Claudio de la Puente of Peru for his insightful remarks, and all the delegations that took the floor for their valuable contributions. The 476 questions submitted by 27 Members, and the interventions by 43 delegations underline the importance attached to Malaysia’s trade and investment policies and practices. Malaysia’s use of the alternative timeframe to reply to advance written questions to this TPR was also appreciated.
