MALAYSIA’S participation at the 13th China-Asean Expo (CAEXPO) on Sept 11 to 14 was intended to deepen bilateral relationship with China and other Asean states through trade, investment, cultural exchanges, exhibition as well as conferences. “We hope CAEXPO 2016 will encourage visitors and buyers alike to check out Malaysian products and services online. Upon viewing of the products at the event, potential buyers may utilise eCommerce to secure future purchase of Malaysian products and services,” said the minister. Malaysia’s participation in CAEXPO 2016 was also a move to unearth more untapped opportunities in China for Malaysian companies, especially in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Total trade between Malaysia and China for 2015 amounted to RM230.89bil compared with RM207.8bil for the same period in 2014 – an increase of 14%.
