PETALING JAYA : The Malaysia Africa Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Macci) is set for a high-impact year in 2025, with a packed agenda of trade missions, business forums, and capacity-building initiatives designed to deepen economic ties between Malaysia and the African continent.
Macci also hopes to open new doors for Malaysian businesses eager to explore investment and partnership opportunities in African markets this year with a series of workshops and sector-specific matchmaking events planned across various African nations.
Macci president Amarjeet Singh Ghai said these initiatives underscored the chamber's commitment to driving sustainable, inclusive economic collaboration between the two regions.
In a statement, Amarjeet said Macci aimed to catalyse trade and investment flows between Malaysia and Africa by serving as a vital conduit for businesses, investors, and policymakers seeking cross-continental growth.
'The chamber is committed to facilitating sustainable economic growth and development by fostering strategic partnerships, advocating favourable trade policies, and offering comprehensive resources and support to its members,' he said.
'With a mission centred on building mutual prosperity through business diplomacy, Macci is committed to connecting enterprises, policymakers, and investors from both regions.'
Macci collaborates closely with African embassies and high commissions in Malaysia –including those of Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, Kenya, Algeria, and Guinea – ensuring direct engagement with both government stakeholders and private sector leaders across the continent.
In addition, Macci maintains strategic affiliations with national chambers of commerce and industry across Africa, serving as vital conduits for cross-border collaboration and policy dialogue.
Macci also works in tandem with established agencies such as the Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation, the Malaysian Investment Development Authority, and the National Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Malaysia to streamline the path for Malaysian firms entering African markets.
