PUTRAJAYA - The Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry aims to attract RM40 million in investment from its franchise trade mission to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

In a statement today, the ministry said the three-day franchise trade mission, which started today, was held in conjunction with the 14th Vietnam International Retailtech & Franchise Show 2023 (VIETRF 2023).

The delegation was led by the ministry's senior director Mohammad Sanusi Abdul Karim, Malaysian Consul General in Ho Chi Minh City Firdauz Othman and Malaysian Franchise Association (MFA) vice-chairman Mohamad Shukri Salleh.

Also participating in the mission are nine leading local franchise companies, namely Marrybrown, US Pizza, Q-Dees, HOME Maths Therapy, Smart Reader Kids, LaundryBar, MEIKO, Midyson and Sangkaya.

"The ministry is optimistic that the companies participating in the trade mission to Ho Chi Minh will get positive results for the return of investment to the country.
