PETALING JAYA:
The Malaysian branch of Thailand’s department of international trade promotion (DITP) is positioning itself as the premier one-stop service hub for Malaysian entrepreneurs who wish to explore trade opportunities with Thailand.

A Thai government agency under its commerce ministry, DITP serves as a global “business bridge” for international traders.

With Malaysia and Thailand targeting a bilateral trade value of US$30 billion by 2027, DITP Malaysia is encouraging local businesses to explore Thailand’s diverse and high-quality products, particularly in food and beverages, health and beauty, and home décor, all of which align with Malaysian market preferences.

DITP Malaysia director Worawan Wanwil said the Kuala Lumpur-based centre acts as a one-stop service hub for Malaysian entrepreneurs seeking trade opportunities with Thailand.

“We facilitate business matching between importers and reliable Thai suppliers, support participation in major Thai trade fairs, and organise trade events such as Thailand Week and Mini Thailand Week across Malaysia,” said Worawan in a statement.

DITP Malaysia also provides expert consultations, market intelligence, and handles commercial complaints through its network of Thai trade centres worldwide.

Trade between Malaysia and Thailand from January to August reached US$18.68 billion, marking a 6.99% growth, according to Thai customs data.

DITP Malaysia expects this positive trend to continue, supported by stronger collaboration and streamlined trade facilitation between both countries.
