The Chengdu-Chongqing region enjoys a favorable position for investment in the central and western regions of China

10月18日，來渝參加中國—馬來西亞可持續棕櫚油專題論壇的馬來西亞駐華大使拉惹·拿督·努西爾萬接受了記者采訪，就馬來西亞與中國的棕櫚油貿易現狀及發展前景、成渝地區雙城經濟圈發展等話題進行了分享交流。

中馬共同推廣可持續棕櫚油創造雙贏局面

“中國是馬來西亞最大的貿易伙伴，2020年雙邊貿易額達1311.6億美元，創下2014年以來的新高。與2019年的1236億美元相比，增長了6.1%。”努西爾萬用一系列數據闡述了中馬貿易和棕櫚油貿易的重要占比。在馬來西亞出口中國的產品中，棕櫚油及其產品是最大的組成部分。今年1月至9月，馬來西亞向中國出口213萬噸棕櫚油和相關制品，價值21億美元。

“伴隨中國國家綠色政策和今年出臺的‘雙碳目標，未來幾年，中國對可持續棕櫚油（MSPO）和環保產品將有更大的需求。”努西爾萬介紹，在這一方面，馬來西亞已與中國政府密切合作，共同在棕櫚油貿易中推廣MSPO。

2020年10月和2021年4月，馬來西亞前外交部長希沙慕丁和中國國務委員兼外交部長王毅舉行兩次雙邊會議，同意兩國共同推廣MSPO。

努西爾萬表示，重慶是中國的糧油生產中心之一，也是中國西部地區棕櫚油進口的重要門戶之一。此次中馬可持續棕櫚油專題論壇在重慶舉辦，正是看重重慶發展棕櫚油的眾多機會，特別是在食品和動物飼料領域。

“火鍋是重慶非常受歡迎的大眾食品，目前已經開發的替代牛油的紅棕櫚油火鍋底料配方，將在這里具有廣闊的市場前景。”努西爾萬說，紅棕櫚油健康且成本較低，還能解決火鍋底料生產中的油脂供應短缺問題。

成渝地區雙城經濟圈蘊含巨大商機和吸引力

而對于廣闊的中國西南市場，馬來西亞也十分看重。在努西爾萬看來，成渝地區在中國中西部地區投資方面處于有利地位，蘊含巨大商機和吸引力。

努西爾萬介紹，四川和重慶都是馬來西亞重要的貿易伙伴。據中國海關數據顯示，2020年，馬來西亞與這兩個地區的雙邊貿易達到85.4億美元。今年1月至8月，馬來西亞是四川和重慶的第八大貿易伙伴，累計雙邊貿易額為68.3億美元。其中，馬來西亞作為重慶的第五大進口來源地，進口總值為18.5億美元，與2020年同比增長31.99%。

“重慶是全球第三大電腦供應商，得益于發達的筆電制造業，集成電路（IC）、微型組件、計算機零部件是重慶從馬來西亞進口的主要產品。”努西爾萬表示，馬來西亞有能力和經驗與重慶在電子元件、半導體設備、材料和精密工程服務的供應鏈相關領域開展合作。

“得益于成都和重慶兩地的多重優勢，讓成渝地區在中國中西部地區的投資方面處于有利地位。”努西爾萬說，這給來這一地區的潛在投資企業提供了信心。當前，成渝兩地已開發了超過66個工業區、自由貿易區和園區，吸引了大量的高科技公司。連接成都、重慶與廣西的陸海新通道也將在吸引投資方面發揮重要作用。

On October 18， Raja Dato' Nushirwan Zainal Abidin， Malaysian Ambassador to China， who came to Chongqing to participate in the Malaysia-China Sustainable Palm Oil Forum， was interviewed by the journalist and shared the status and development prospects of the palm oil trade between Malaysia and China， the development of the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle and other topics.

China and Malaysia jointly promote Malaysian sustainable palm oil to create a win-win situation

"China is Malaysia's largest trading partner. In 2020， bilateral trade volume registered $131.16 billion， a record high since 2014. This marks a growth of 6.1% compared with the $123.6 billion in 2019." Nushirwan used a series of data to illustrate the important proportions of China-Malaysia trade and palm oil trade. Among Malaysia's products exported to China， palm oil and relevant products are the largest component. From January to September this year， Malaysia exported 2.13 million tons of palm oil and palm products to China， valued at $2.1 billion.

"With China's national green policy and the 'carbon peaking and neutrality goals' promulgated this year， the nation will embrace greater demand for Malaysian sustainable palm oil （MSPO） and environmentally friendly products in the next few years." Nushirwan said that in this regard， Malaysia has worked closely with the Chinese government to jointly promote MSPO in the palm oil trade.

In October 2020 and April 2021， Hishammuddin， the former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Malaysia， and Wang Yi， State Councilor and Minister of Foreign Affairs of China， held two bilateral meetings and agreed to jointly promote MSPO between the two countries.

Nushirwan said that Chongqing is one of China's grain and oil production centers and one of the important gateways for palm oil imports in Western China. The Malaysia-China Sustainable Palm Oil Forum held in Chongqing manifests many opportunities in the city to develop palm oil， especially in the fields of food and animal feed.

"Hot pot is highly popular food in Chongqing. The red palm oil hot pot soup recipe that has been developed to replace beef fat will enjoy broad market prospects here." Nushirwan explained， red palm oil is healthy and cost-effective， so it also solve the problem of oil supply shortage in the production of hot pot soup.

The Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle is brimming with huge business opportunities and appeal

Malaysia also sets great store on the vast southwestern China market. In Nushirwan's view， the Chengdu-Chongqing region， brimming with huge business opportunities and appeal， takes an advantageous position for investment in the central and western regions of China.

According to Nushirwan， Sichuan and Chongqing are both important trading partners of Malaysia. According to China Customs data， in 2020， bilateral trade between Malaysia and these two regions totaled $8.54 billion. From January to August this year， Malaysia stood as the eighth largest trading partner of Sichuan and Chongqing， with a cumulative bilateral trade volume of $ 6.83 billion. Among them， Malaysia is Chongqings fifth largest source of imports， with a total import value of $1.85 billion， a year-on-year increase of 31.99% compared to 2020.

"Chongqing is the third largest computer supplier in the world. Thanks to the city's advanced laptop manufacturing industry， integrated circuits （IC）， micro-components， and computer parts are the main products that Chongqing imports from Malaysia." Nushirwan said， Malaysia has the capacity and experience to cooperate with Chongqing in the supply chain related fields of electronic components， semiconductor equipment， materials and precision engineering services.

"Thanks to the multiple advantages of Chengdu and Chongqing， the Chengdu-Chongqing region is in a favorable position for investment in the central and western regions of China." Nusirwan added， which provides confidence to potential investment companies in this region. Currently， Chengdu and Chongqing have developed more than 66 industrial zones， free trade zones and parks， attracting a host of high-tech companies. The new western land-sea corridor connecting Chengdu， Chongqing and Guangxi will also play an important role in attracting investment.
