He welcomed them, especially the Fortune 500 companies, to invest or increase their investment, namely in economic digital, green technology and electric car sectors.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve suggested to\u00a0Tesla to invest\u00a0in Malaysia in producing electric cars,\u201d he told Malaysian journalists after meeting Ambassador Ted Osius, president and chief executive officer of the United States (US)-Asean Business Council (US-ABC)\u00a0at a hotel here.<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister, who arrived here yesterday, is on a four-day working visit to the US, during which he would meet with President Joe Biden and Asean leaders.<\/p>\n

Ismail Sabri said he has asked the US-ABC to play a bigger role in attracting investment to Asean, especially Malaysia.<\/p>\n

Malaysia is seen as important trading partner, Penang to host WCIT<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThey regard Malaysia as an important trading partner of the United States,\u201d the Prime Minister said of the US-ABC reaction.<\/p>\n

Later Ismail Sabri has a separate session with World Information Technology and Services Alliance (WITSA) secretary-general Dr James H. Poisant at the same venue.<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister said WITSA\u00a0would hold the World Congress on Information Technology (WCIT), the world\u2019s largest IT conference\u00a0in Penang in September.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope this congress will benefit Malaysians in terms of technology,\u201d he said, adding that\u00a0participants from all over the world,\u00a0including speakers from America\u2019s space agency,\u00a0would converge at\u00a0the congress.<\/p>\n

In another meeting at the same venue, the Malaysian premier met Dr Adam S. Posen, president of the Peterson Institute for International Economics, as well as\u00a0East-West Center vice-president Dr P. Limaye.<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister also held a separate discussion with Dr Kurt M. Campbell, deputy assistant to the US President and coordinator for Indo-Pacific Affairs in the National Security Council.<\/p>\n

Ismail Sabri told Dr Campbell that all Asean member countries should be involved with the US-led initiative Indo-Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF).<\/p>\n

At\u00a0the moment, some countries from the grouping are not in the picture for the major trade and economic initiative for the Indo-Pacific region.<\/p>\n

\u201cMalaysia is of the view that all Asean countries should be involved,\u201d he said, adding that Kuala Lumpur has agreed in principle to join the IPEF.<\/p>\n
