TOKYO: Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has invited Japan to partner Malaysia in the development of the Southeast Asian country.
The prime minister extended the invitation to a meeting with leaders of major Japanese economic organisations here on Tuesday.
He said the new government in Malaysia which he led would be business friendly.
"We are not going to have too many bureaucratic hindrances or procedures that would deter foreign investors," Dr Mahathir said.
