He said: "If Anhua can attract more foreign capital and improve the economy, many people's livelihood problems will also be solved."
Anwar on Monday (March 27) when visiting Cambodia revealed that it will announce an important new investment during the visit to China, saying that this represents the government's "highest commitment".
Cai Zhaoyuan believes that the investment projects referred to by Anwar are believed to involve high -value -added areas, such as electrical electronics, electric vehicles, and information and communication technology.
