KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (Matrade) is leveraging digital platforms to accelerate the export of Malaysian products and services through the virtual export acceleration mission to New Zealand and Fiji from Nov 8-10.
Matrade director of China and Northeast Asia and Asean and Oceania Mazlan Harun said New Zealand and Fiji have been among Malaysia's four largest trading partners within the region.
"Malaysian exporters should take advantage of the bilateral free trade agreement with New Zealand and the growing interest of Fijian businesses in diversification to increase their exports over time," Mazlan said in a statement.
As a continuation of the previous mission to New Zealand and Fiji in 2019, the upcoming mission will offer Malaysian companies a platform to explore potential export opportunities for education services, F&B, household products and medical disposables.
"Matrade, with its office in Melbourne overseeing Oceania countries including New Zealand and Fiji is always ready to assist Malaysian companies in connecting them with prospective business partners and expanding business opportunities," it said.
