The Malaysia-Africa Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MACCI) stands as a pivotal institution driving economic, trade, and investment collaboration between Malaysia and African nations. With a mission to foster mutual prosperity through business diplomacy, MACCI serves as “The Ultimate Business Network”—connecting enterprises, policymakers, and investors while providing trusted market insights and bilateral trade facilitation. 

Under the visionary leadership of Chairman Mr. Amarjeet Singh Ghai, MACCI is poised for a transformative year in 2025, with an ambitious agenda featuring trade missions, business forums, and capacity-building programs across Africa. These initiatives aim to unlock new investment and partnership opportunities for Malaysian businesses in high-potential African markets. 

Strategic Collaborations & Diplomatic Engagement: 

MACCI operates in close partnership with African embassies and high commissions in Malaysia, including Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, Kenya, Algeria, and Guinea. These alliances ensure direct engagement with government and private sector leaders, facilitating smoother market entry for Malaysian firms. 

Additionally, MACCI maintains affiliations with National Chambers of Commerce across Africa and aligns with key Malaysian trade bodies such as: 

– MATRADE (Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation) 

– MIDA (Malaysian Investment Development Authority) 

– FMM (Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers) 

This multi-stakeholder approach strengthens cross-border collaboration, policy dialogue, and supply chain resilience in critical sectors like agribusiness, infrastructure, construction, and renewable energy.
