SHENZHEN: Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor has invited Chinese investors to explore the Blue Economy concept in collaboration with the Sabah state government to develop the food processing sector.
"We will implement this concept that calls for sustainable use of ocean resources for economic development, generate jobs and improve livelihood," he said.
"Sabah has the longest coastline in Malaysia, with more than 1,000 km for fish farming and other marine products. There is vast potential in this area for win-win partnerships."
Leading a trade mission delegation from Sabah to the "Business and Investment Opportunities in Sabah" Global Chinese Economic and Technology Summit (GCET) at the Futian Shangri-La here, Hajiji said the Sabah State Government would be organising a Blue Economy International Conference in February next year.
