KOTA KINABALU – Former foreign minister Datuk Seri Anifah Aman has been appointed special adviser on international relations and foreign investment to Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor.

Anifah, 69, a former MP for Kimanis, received the letter of appointment from Hajiji at the chief minister’s office in Menara Kinabalu today.

In a statement, Hajiji expressed confidence that the appointment of Anifah, who has extensive experience in international relations, can help the state government establish good relations with other countries and foreign investors, in line with its investor-friendly policies.
