BRI projects bring progress in Malaysia – official

KUALA LUMPUR: Several projects under the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) have led to greater development and economic progress in Malaysia's Pahang, an official said.

These projects have not only created opportunities for the local workforce but have positively spilled over into the east coast of Peninsula Malaysia since their implementation a decade ago, Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail, chief minister of Pahang state, told Xinhua in a recent interview.
