The collaboration kickstarted the 19th China-ASEAN Expo (CAEXPO) 2022 which was held from 16 to 19 September 2022 in Nanning, China.
CCB utilized their clientele in China to invite more than 200 foreign buyers to meet with over 50 Malaysian companies through more than 300 business meetings. These business meetings were pre-arranged to be held virtually from 13 to 15 September on CCB’s digital matching platform known as CCB Matchplus.
