The British Malaysia Chamber of Commerce (BMCC) has taken a significant stride forward with the inauguration of its new office situated within the heart of Tun Razak Exchange (TRX) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
TRX symbolises Malaysia’s ambitious vision to position itself as a global financial hub—a vision that resonates with BMCC’s mission of strengthening business ties and driving sustainable economic growth. By establishing its new office within TRX, BMCC reaffirms its confidence in Malaysia’s economic resilience and its pivotal role in regional development.
With a rich history spanning 60 years since its inception in 1963, BMCC has been instrumental in providing British and Malaysian businesses with networking opportunities, knowledge exchange, and bilateral trading assistance.
The partnership between BMCC and TRX signifies a strategic alignment of interests, aiming to showcase Malaysia’s state-of-the-art infrastructure and facilities as a gateway to ASEAN for British businesses seeking expansion in the region.
Furthermore, with Malaysia’s recent record-breaking trade performance and strategic approaches introduced during the KL20 Summit 2024, the country solidifies its position as a regional hub for businesses aiming to tap into the dynamic Southeast Asian market.
Highlighting the robust bilateral trade relations between the UK and Malaysia, Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry, Deputy Minister, Liew Chin Tong expressed optimism for unprecedented growth in bilateral trade and investment. This sentiment was echoed by British High Commissioner to Malaysia, Her Excellency Ailsa Terry CMG who emphasised the forthcoming milestones such as the entry-into-force of CPTPP for the UK and the hosting of the first ministerial UK-Malaysia Joint Economic and Trade Committee (JETCO) meeting.
The historical foundation and complementary strengths shared between the UK and Malaysia offer a fertile ground for collaboration across various sectors. With BMCC serving as a catalyst in the development of bilateral relations, both nations can chart a path towards sustainable economic growth, contributing to regional and global prosperity.
