Malaysia to send six MPs to Europe to fight for palm oil

In Malaysia, the country is sending a delegation of six MPs to Europe in late September in an effort to try and stir up support for palm oil following trends in both the European Union and Norway to move away from using the oil due to sustainability challenges. The mission had been delayed from July due to most members of European Parliament already having left for summer holidays. Malaysia believes it is a strong proponent of environmental protection, especially of its forests.
