we agreed on the need for greater engagement between both countries. I thank him for the opportunity to engage, and I look forward to deeper collaboration between Malaysia and Guinea, he said in a statement on Nabes courtesy visit. According to the statement, the Republic of Guinea has just launched its Country Strategic Plan for 2024-2029, which focuses on promoting green economy, accelerating digital transition, developing human capital, and fostering innovation to transform the economy. Liew also said that he supported Nabes proposal to hold an economic dialogue between ASEAN and the Economic Community of West African States (Ecowas). This will facilitate economic exchanges between Malaysia and African nations, especially the Republic of Guinea, expanding trade and strengthening supply chains in response to the current geopolitical challenges, he said.
