It seems that the talks between Khazanah Nasional and Volkswagen officials in New York last week on a Proton-Volkswagen partnership ended in a positive tone, and a follow-up meeting has been scheduled to be held somewhere in Bangkok, though there was no specific date reported anywhere in the press.
Anyway on a sidenote, I am beginning to wonder why most press insists on saying the talks are between Proton and Volkswagen when it is actually in fact between Khazanah Nasional and Volkswagen. That is a big difference.
