Kota Kinabalu: Sabah’s unique potential to attract investments from France-based companies is receiving a fresh push amid Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s flagship official visit to France.
French Chamber of Commerce in Malaysia (CCI France Malaysia), Regional Correspondent for Sabah Jacques Leizerovici, highlighted new openings for French investors in sectors ranging from tourism and renewable energy to oil & gas and aerospace.
He emphasized how Sabah’s strategic development plans—including the Sabah Development Corridor and major infrastructure projects like the Pan-Borneo Highway—are drawing interest from a diverse group of French enterprises such as Club Med, Saint‑Gobain, Schneider Electric, and Seatech Engineering Maintenance.
Prime Minister Anwar’s two-day visit to Paris—invited by President Emmanuel Macron—has already yielded significant commercial outcomes. These include Malaysia Airlines having confirmed orders for 20 Airbus A330neos, and AirAsia for 50 more, reinforcing aviation ties.
