MATRADE EYES PARTICIPATION IN TRADE FAIRS ACROSS MIDDLE EAST
DUBAI, Jan 7 (Bernama) -- The Malaysia External Trade Development Corp (Matrade)
Dubai has identified international trade fairs across the Middle East that may
involve the participation of Malaysian companies and exporters this year.
Matrade's senior trade commissioner, Dzulkifli Mahmud, said the events would
take place in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar, Iran and Iraq.
He said among the highlights of Matrade Dubai's calendar for this year would be
the Malaysia Services Exhibition 2011 scheduled for Apr 17-20 in Abu Dhabi, the
capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
"The event will showcase the capability of about 120 Malaysian companies in
areas like construction, professional services, facility management and others,"
he told Bernama.
Dzulkifli said MSE 2011 would be held in conjunction with CityBuild Abu Dhabi
and Cityscape Abu Dhabi exhibitions highlighting developments and opportunities
in the building and construction industry as well as property and real estate.
"We're holding the event for the first time in Abu Dhabi to take advantage of
numerous real estate and infrastructure projects in the emirate," he said.
Interested Malaysian companies should contact Matrade for further details, he
said.
Previous MSE events were held in the emirates of Sharjah and Dubai.
Dzulkifli said Matrade also planned to organise a specialised marketing mission
on oil and gas to Oman, Kuwait and the UAE in early April.
In addition, he said, Matrade proposed to take Malaysian construction companies
on another specialised mission to Erbil, Iraq in September.
"We'd like to take advantage of reconstruction efforts in that country," he said
of the proposed trip to Iraq.
Matrade also planned to lead the participation of Malaysian jewellery exporters
at Jewellery Arabia 2011 scheduled for Nov 22-26 in Bahrain.
"As you know, jewellery items are among the most important Malaysian exports to
this part of the world.
"Taking part in such an event will further enhance our profile in this region
and presents an opportunity to promote Malaysian jewellery products to a wider
audience," he said.
Dzulkifli said Malaysia would participate in the Organisation of the Islamic
Conference (OIC) Expo from Apr 24-29 in Sharjah.
"Malaysia is one of the more advanced members of the grouping of Muslim
countries and we'd like to take this opportunity to share our experience and
expertise with other countries in the OIC," he said.
Dzulkifli hoped the exhibition would lead to a boost in intra-OIC trade.
