More than 5,000 international purchasers are gathering in Kuala Lumpur, capital city of Malaysia, to explore trade cooperation opportunities at the Malaysia China Linyi Commodity Exhibition from April 25 to 26.
The exhibition, organized by Linyi Trade City, which is a prominent wholesale trading center in China, displays commodities including sports goods, daily necessities, kitchenware, automotive supplies, and small building materials and hardware.
“With a comprehensive upgrade, this year’s exhibition is expected to increase trade volume by 10 percent, enhancing its market share in Malaysia,” said Song Liansheng, president of Linyi Small Commodities Chamber of Commerce.
“This exhibition is a significant event for Linyi city. It provides a platform for businesses from China and Malaysia to explore potential economic collaborations, strengthening trade and commerce ties,” said Weng San, speaker of the Malaysian Selangor State Legislative Assembly.
Malaysia, known as the crossroads of Southeast Asia, has become a central hub for commodity procurement. Economic and trade cooperation between Malaysia and Linyi has increased over the past few years. According to official data, in 2024, Linyi’s import and export volume with Malaysia reached 8.91 billion yuan ($1.22 billion), a year-on-year increase of 67.9 percent.
