KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 20 (NNN-BERNAMA) — Muslim countries should activate greater trade and investment to create economies of scale by adopting the\u00a0Fourth Industrial Revolution\u00a0(IR 4.0)\u00a0to generate wealth and prosperity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Malaysia’s Economic Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed\u00a0Azmin Ali said joint pacts and strategic geo-economic alliances must be established to create new jobs,\u00a0wealth and unlock new economic potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
