FMM Forges Stronger ASEAN Economic Ties

June 11, 2025

Today, FMM President Tan Sri Dato’ Soh Thian Lai, leading a delegation of FMM representatives including Dato’ Nathan K Suppiah, Dato’ Goh Boon Kim (Vice-Presidents), Mr Stanley Siew (FMM Youth Committee Chairman), and Datuk Dr Yeoh Oon Tean (FMM CEO), held a highly productive courtesy call with His Excellency Mr. Umesh Pandey, Thai Trade Representative, at the Government House of Thailand in Bangkok.

This pivotal meeting generated positive momentum for strengthening bilateral economic ties and advancing regional integration within ASEAN. Among the key discussions was exploring the potential of twin industrial parks at the Malaysia-Thailand borders—one in Southern Thailand and the other in Kedah, Malaysia. These parks would focus on MSMEs in the F&B, Halal, and rubber sectors. The dialogue also covered establishing an ASEAN Business Greenlane to streamline cross-border trade and enhance human capital mobility across the region. This productive engagement reinforces FMM's commitment to fostering a more integrated and prosperous ASEAN.
