This collaboration seeks to foster trade ties between China and Malaysia while offering Malaysian entrepreneurs access to high-quality goods from Yiwu Mall Group’s suppliers.

The opening of this showroom marks a significant step towards strengthening economic relations between the two nations. Yiwu Mall Group extended a warm invitation to 26 reputable suppliers from Yiwu Commodity City, China, to showcase a diverse range of products across 20 different categories.

A collaborative effort

It houses a staggering 236 categories of products, encompassing over 1.8 million distinct commodities that are exported to more than 210 countries and regions.

The influx of international visitors to Yiwu is predominantly composed of business professionals rather than tourists.
