Malaysia is located at the heart of Southeast Asia, consisting of Peninsular Malaysia and the northern part of Borneo. It is a country where diverse cultures blend harmoniously, and nature coexists with urban development. Blessed with a strategic geographical location, an open business environment and abundant tourism resources, Malaysia is known as a "cultural melting pot of Asia". Featuring Malay cuisine, Peranakan culture, Chinese ancestral shrines, Hindu temples, tropical rainforests and modern cities, it is a highly favored destination for tourists and business travelers worldwide.
Malaysia lies at the geographical center of ASEAN and commands the Strait of Malacca, a critical choke point of global shipping. Port Klang in Malaysia is the world’s 10th largest port, the second largest port in ASEAN, and the gateway to the Strait of Malacca. Around 25% of global maritime trade and 40% of global crude oil shipments pass through this route, making Malaysia a key hub connecting East Asia, South Asia and the Middle East. As a core economy of ASEAN, Malaysia has maintained steady economic growth: its GDP grew by 3.9% in 2023, rebounded to 4.5% in 2024, and is projected to expand by 4.8%–5.3% in 2025. Its logistics market has been expanding continuously, with the industry scale exceeding US$35 billion in 2024 and a compound annual growth rate of over 6%. Cross-border e-commerce transaction value has grown at an annual rate of more than 15%, bringing vast development opportunities for international logistics.
