SAN FRANCISCO: Khazanah Nasional has spread its wings to the American continent, with the opening of the Khazanah Americas Incorporated (KAI) office here on Sunday.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak who was at its opening, said he hoped the move would encourage more trade and investments between Malaysia and the United States.
KAI is Khazanah's third regional office after Beijing and Mumbai.
San Francisco was selected as it is a premier hub for innovation and technology.
Khazanah managing director Tan Sri Azman Mokhtar said KAI would play an immense role as a bridge between Malaysia and the premier innovation and US technology hubs.
Later on Sunday, Najib attended a dinner with some 300 Malaysians working and living in the city.
The Prime Minister said the Government was striving hard to ensure the wealth of the nation is shared in an equitable manner for everybody.
"It is by no means an easy task, but we have done extremely well and this is proven with the rapid growth of the country," he added.
Also present were his wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Seri Shabery Cheek and Johor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Khaled Nordin.
