The US-ASEAN Business Council is registering senior-level executives for the 2025 Malaysia Business Mission. This year's mission holds great significance as Malaysia holds the 2025 ASEAN Chairmanship this year. The importance of the U.S.-Malaysia economic relationship is even more significant as both countries navigate global and geopolitical challenges. The 2025 Malaysia Business Mission will provide the delegation with unique opportunities for exclusive in-person dialogues with the Anwar Ibrahim administration as well as the East Malaysian governments, with the objectives to strengthen the U.S-Malaysia business relationship, discuss new opportunities, and navigate risks associated with the current global policy landscape. MISSION THEMES The Mission will bring three overarching messages to frame discussions and support our advocacy activities throughout the year: 1. Public-Private partnership on the digital, supply chain and renewable energy efforts: USABC members are taking a more active role to help balance Malaysia’s digital economy, industrial development, and sustainability efforts, enhancing its position in global and regional supply chains. 2. Malaysia’s 2025 ASEAN Chairmanship: Leveraging Malaysia’s ASEAN Chairmanship to support USABC members regional advocacy priorities (i.e., connectivity, sustainability, policy harmonization, etc.) related to the ongoing development of the ASEAN Economic Community. 3. Malaysia’s domestic business environment for economic and trade resilience: USABC members reaffirm commitment to push forward measures that both support a more resilient economy and a more competitive business environment for growth in various priority sectors.
