KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia Chamber of Commerce & Industry (EUMCCI) announced the appointment of Sven Schneider as its new chief executive officer (CEO) effective March 30, 2020. EUMCCI said in 2020, it targets to enhance its collaboration with the Malaysian government to further grow European investments and bilateral trade. “In this context, the board intends to strengthen the chamber’s advocacy work through its vast member base (1,600 members) in concerted collaborations with bilateral chambers and EUMCCI’s thematic committees. “Most importantly, EUMCCI will focus on its members and core business by providing more business opportunities through business matching events and collaborations,” it said. “Since trade has slightly slowed in 2019, EUMCCI believes that trade and investment activities would benefit considerably from the promise of a trade agreement,” it said.
