Malaysia and Turkey Agree to Develop Uniform Halal Standards

According to Bernama.com, Malaysia and Turkey have agreed to develop global uniform standards for Halal. This could allow the Organization of Islamic Conference to take part in the growing market of halal, which has been dominated by non-Islamic countries, and this move has been supported by some influential countries, such as Saudia Arabia. The Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister cited the H1N1 virus as a reason for the increase in questions and demand for Halal products. Today, 17% of the world's food products are halal, and this is expected to increase in coming years. Halal includes food, cosmetics, logistics, Islamic banking, and financial services.
