The declaration of PTP and Johor Port as a cocoa trade hub for Malaysia will further boost the reputation of both organisations as the global benchmark for integrated port services from the Straits of Malacca. This will also strengthen bilateral relations between the ports with Government agencies while at the same time exploring business and investment opportunities for both parties.
