On 9 September 2025, the High Commissioner of Malaysia HE Datuk Mohd Aini Atan received a courtesy call from a delegation of the Malaysian International Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MICCI) Sabah, led by its Chairperson Datuk Susan Chang, at the High Commissioner’s office.
During the call, Datuk Susan apprised HE Datuk Mohd Aini of MICCI Sabah’s ongoing outreach efforts in the Sultanate to promote the Sabah International Expo (SIE) 2026 which is scheduled to take place from 4 to 6 September 2026 at the Sabah International Convention Centre (SICC), Kota Kinabalu.
The expo, touted as the largest trade fair in East Malaysia aims to foster business opportunities and showcase products and services from the BIMP-EAGA region.
HE Datuk Mohd Aini expressed the High Commission of Malaysia’s support towards the initiative which serves as an excellent platform to not only deepen economic linkages between Malaysia and Brunei, but also to tap into the wider market of BIMP-EAGA which has a combined estimated population of 81.7 million people.
