KUCHING, 17 Feb: Sarawak is attracting strong interest from global investors, particularly from the Commonwealth trade and investment community, as the region positions itself as a key economic hub.
Deputy Chairman of the Commonwealth Enterprise and Investment Council (CWEIC), Lord Hugo Swire, highlighted the growing enthusiasm for Sarawak’s diverse economic landscape.
“There is significant interest in investment opportunities here.
“We have over 140 members who are eager to explore partnerships in Sarawak, as I believe the region is making significant strides in various sectors, particularly in renewable energy, oil and gas, education, and cybersecurity,” he said after a courtesy visit to the Minister for Natural Resources and Urban Development, Datuk Amar Awang Tengah Ali Hasan, on Monday.
