Our CEO, Jennifer Lopez, recently participated in the bi-annual Britain in South East Asia (BiSEA) Conference in Singapore. It was an insightful two days of exchanging best practices and brainstorming collaborative opportunities to advance trade between the UK and ASEAN.
We extend our appreciation to David Kelly, Executive Director of BritCham Singapore for crafting this dynamic two-day programme, which included fruitful engagement sessions with the members of BritCham Singapore.
We also thank Martin Kent, His Majesty’s Trade Commissioner to Asia Pacific for hosting a delightful barbecue at his official residence, providing a great networking opportunity with senior members of BritCham Singapore.
It was exciting to see British companies in Singapore eager to expand into Malaysia, especially as we gear up for Malaysia’s upcoming ASEAN Chairmanship.
The ASEAN region offers immense opportunities for trade, driven by its rapidly growing economies, strategic location, and strong integration efforts. With a combined population of over 650 million and a rising middle class, ASEAN presents a significant consumer market for goods and services.
With Malaysia also being one of the first countries to ratify the UK’s accession to the CPTPP, the future holds great promise for UK-Malaysia trade collaborations.
If you are a British company keen on expanding your business into Malaysia or the ASEAN market, please reach out to Shaayla@bmcc.org.my
