KUALA LUMPUR The Prime Minister congratulates Angkatan Koperasi Kebangsaan Malaysia Bhd (Angkasa) president Datuk Dr Abdul Fattah Abdullah (pic) on being elected as International Cooperative Alliance Asia Pacific (ICA-AP) vice-president for the term 2022- 2026.

       Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said, in a Facebook post Wednesday (Dec 1), that the election showed the confidence and trust of international cooperative leaders in the leadership and wisdom of the cooperative movement in Malaysia, which is seen as progressive, systematic and viable.

       "Congratulations! Malaysia created history when it won the ICA-AP vice-president seat at the 15th ICA-AP regional assembly which was organised in a hybrid manner in Seoul, South Korea,” Ismail's Sabri's post said.
