Malaysian Agriculture and Agro-based Industries Minister Noh Omar said the issue on the exports of bird’s nest would be resolved in the near future.

He said there was no longer any big issue in the exports of bird’s nest except for technical matters which had yet to be settled.

“The director-general of veterinary services, Dr Abdul Aziz Jamaluddin, will continue to discuss technical issues with China until the matter is resolved,” Noh told the Malaysian media in Beijing.

Noh had visited China and held discussions with the Chinese Minister of General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ), Zhi Shuping on issues concerning the exports of bird’s nest and fruits to China on Tuesday.

He said the department had given positive cooperation and views on the efforts taken by the Malaysian Agriculture and Agro-based Industries Ministry.
