KOTA KINABALU: Sabah offers strong potential for deeper cooperation with China in agri-tech, sustainable farming, and value-added industries, said Deputy Plantation and Commodities Minister Datuk Chan Foong Hin.

He noted that Sabah’s natural resources complement China’s technological and investment strengths.

“With Malaysia chairing Asean in 2025, we are focused on green, sustainable regional growth,” he said.
