We here at EUROCHAM Malaysia welcome this mission to engage further with European Nations and partners to encourage strong investment and trade relations and thereby supporting the Economic Recovery in Malaysia and Europe alike.

Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) has issued a media release regarding MITI and Its Agencies to Boost Awareness on Malaysia as A Trade and Investment Hub for European Businesses. Media release as follows:

Building on the successful Trade and Investment Mission (TIM) undertaken in the first half of the year, Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) will continue its key responsibilities of promoting Malaysia as the preferred investment destination and trading partner of choice. Towards this end, YB Dato' Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali, Senior Minister and Minister of International Trade and Industry along with senior officials of MITI just arrived in Frankfurt, Germany to kick-off the TIM to the Federal Republic of Germany, Republic of France and the United Kingdom (UK). The TIM will take place from 13 to 21 October 2021, in the efforts to further strengthen the bilateral economic relations between Malaysia and European economic powerhouses.

In this regard, the TIM to the three countries is in line with the dimensions of economic empowerment and enhancing our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) capabilities as outlined in the Twelfth Malaysia Plan (RMKe-12) to ensure business resiliency. The TIM to Europe is targeted for companies among the pioneers in the smart manufacturing, automotive, electrical & electronics, medical devices, and high-tech industries as well as trailblazers in sustainable development, green agenda and digital trade not only in the European region, but also globally. Additionally, these countries have also outlined policies and strategies to achieve a net-zero Greenhouse Gas (GhG) emissions target by 2050, aligned with our RMKe-12 aspirations.
