The Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE) and China Construction Bank (CCB) have secured 95 collaboration intents through the 7th Malaysia-China B2B Business Matching Session held in conjunction with the 22nd China-ASEAN Expo (CAEXPO) in Nanning, Guangxi, China.
The session, jointly organised by MATRADE, CCB and the China-ASEAN Expo Secretariat, was aimed at strengthening Malaysia’s presence at CAEXPO and enhancing bilateral trade with China.
The event drew over 200 participants, including 50 Malaysian exporters and around 150 Chinese companies from Jiangsu, Jilin, Liaoning and Guangxi provinces. More than 200 one-to-one meetings were held, underscoring growing interest in strategic partnerships between both nations.
The business matching session focused on sectors such as specialty agricultural products including bird’s nests, food and beverages, consumer goods, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, construction materials, logistics, and artificial intelligence.
“The collaboration between MATRADE and China Construction Bank plays a significant role in enabling Malaysian exporters to venture into fast-growing second-tier cities like Nanning and other third-tier cities, with the support of financing facilities by CCB,” said MATRADE Chief Executive Officer Dato’ Sri Mohd Mustafa Abdul Aziz.
Following the session, several Memoranda of Understanding and Letters of Intent were signed at the Malaysia Pavilion during CAEXPO, translating the business discussions into tangible prospects.
The initiative marks another milestone in Malaysia-China trade ties and signals strong potential for future collaboration in high-growth sectors supporting sustainable economic development.
