May 17, 2012

KUALA LUMPUR, May 17 — Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Minister, Datuk Seri Noh Omar said the issue over the export of bird’s nest would be resolved in the near future.

He said there was no longer any big issue except for technical matters which had yet to be settled.

“The director-general of Veterinary Services, Datuk Dr Abdul Aziz Jamaluddin, will continue to discuss technical issues with China until the matter is resolved,” Noh told the Malaysian media in Beijing.

Noh is in China on a visit and held discussions with Zhi Shuping, the Chinese Minister of General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ), on issues concerning the export of bird’s nest and fruits to China on Tuesday. — Bernama
