SANA'A, Dec. 22 (Saba) – President of the Malaysian Malay Chamber of Commerce Sayed Ali al-Attas said Yemen has large investment opportunities in various sectors.

The Yemeni-Malaysian Investment Symposium and the conference on ' Industry is the Future of Yemen' provide Malaysian businessmen with the opportunity to familiarize themselves with these opportunities and to promote contact between the two countries, al-Attas said.

"The Yemeni government should promote its economic potentials and investment opportunities abroad to introduce them to foreign investors." He said.

Sectors which would be given priority by Malaysian investors over the next five years include the tourism sector as Yemen enjoys attractive tourist elements; the environment sector as Yemen has four preservations internationally recognized by the UNESCO; and the sectors of technical education and vocational training as well as industry and industrial zones, al-Attas said.
