MATRADE’s international recognitions underscore its reputation as a world-class trade promotion agency. These achievements reinforce Malaysia’s position as a competitive global trading nation and demonstrate MATRADE’s dedication to supporting the growth and success of Malaysian exporters on the world stage.

Malaysia International Halal Showcase (MIHAS), organised by Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE) has been awarded by Malaysia Book of Records (MBR) as the largest Halal Trade Fair in Malaysia.

The TPO Network World Conference & Awards 2012, hosted by MATRADE in Kuala Lumpur on October 18-19, 2012, was the 9th such event, bringing together 200+ delegates from 65 countries to discuss "Transforming TPOs Business through Innovation"

Malaysia supports 139 developing countries under the framework of the South-South Cooperation since 1980 via the Malaysian Technical Cooperation Programme (MTCP). In 1983, Japan started its Third Country Training Programme (TCTP) in Malaysia. Subsequently, Malaysia and Japan began to collaborate in 1992 to assist developing countries under the MTCP Recipient List within this TCTP arrangement. Meantime, upon the launch of Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD) in 1993 by the Government of Japan, JICA streamlined its TCTP in line with the TICAD Initiative.
