Syria-Malaysia: Governments eye ever-closer ties |
2007-07-02 |
Damascus, 2 July (AKI) - A high-level Syrian-Malaysian committee, whose brief is to develop economic and trade cooperation between the two countries, was meeting for the first time on Monday in Kuala Lumpur. The Syrian delegation is led by the economy and trade minister Amer Lutfi. During the meeting, Damascus and Kuala Lumpur are expected to a series of accords and protocols in the areas of trade, science and technology, culture and the media. Hmmm... what does Syria have that Malaysia wants/needs? The Syrian government is especially interested in recent economic and political developments in Malaysia. In 2004, the King of Malaysia and the then prime minister visited Syria and last year the current premier Abdullah Badawi came to Damascus where he signed eight cooperation accords. Malaysia is considered a model for members of the Syrian government in view of its desire to create a stock exchange, as well as a gateway through which Damascus is seeking entry for its products into the South East Asian market. The volume of trade between the two countries is currently around 40 million euros per annum. |

#2 Malaysia is considered a model for members of the Syrian government in view of its desire to create a stock exchange, as well as a gateway through which Damascus is seeking entry for its products into the South East Asian market. You ask what they want? Econometric modelling extrapolated from trading psychology and tendencies mimiced by market behavior. Much like our short lived idea of using future market force predictions to estimate and select future terrorist activity, you can probably use the inverse to determine targets and date planning. Thats what. What else would expect from Syria. |
