On behalf of BeLuxCham Malaysia, we would like to extend an invitation to the Belux-Inter Asian Chambers Event – Antwerp - Europe’s Future Proof Economic Powerhouse that will be held on Monday, 30 August 2021 at 3PM (+8 GMT).

As the second largest port in Europe and the second largest petrochemical cluster in the world, Antwerp is the major engine for economic development in the wider Flanders region - the city has proven to be agile throughout the pandemic thanks to the fully operational “Port of Antwerp”, empowered by a strong base of entrepreneurship and innovation.

A media statement has been issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs Malaysia regarding the participation in the Malaysia My Second Home Program (MM2H) – media statement as follows:

Since the implementation of the Movement Control Order (MCO) on March 18, 2020 (last year), the government has decided on a policy of closing the country's borders to curb the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic brought in from the entry of foreigners into the country.

From this decision, applications to participate in Malaysia My Second Home Program (MM2H), have been frozen to give space to the Ministry of Home Affairs (KDN) and the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture (MOTAC) to review and re-evaluate the comprehensiveness of the MM2H Program.

We had an engaging courtesy meet with His Excellency Mr Michalis Rokas, Ambassador and Head of EU Delegation to Malaysia together with EUROCHAM Malaysia’s CEO Mr Sven Schneider, Managing Director for Moët Hennessy Diageo and Head of the Wines and Spirits Committee Mr Thomas Bouleuc, alongside other committee members during our Wines and Spirits Committee meeting.

Amongst the topics that were discussed during the committee meeting were the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the sector, the value chain as well as the promotion of responsible consumption amongst consumers.
