Kuala Lumpur - Malaysia, the leader of the global Halal industry, expressed at the WORLD HALAL WEEK 2018 forum its vision to lead the global Halal industry chain and drive this process, planning to synchronize Halal certification procedures and establish an international authority board.

Deputy Prime Minister Dato Seri Dr. Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said Malaysia is committed to strengthening business facilitation and positioning Malaysia as the international reference center for the global Halal industry.

'We are committed to a competitive Halal industry that constantly innovates, producing products and services that are not only suitable for industrial needs but, more importantly, follow the principle of HALALAN TOYYIBAN' (permitted for use or consumption according to Syariah standards).
