MSI BRIDGING GAPS: LATIN AMERICAN BUSINESS DAY 2017 On August 1, 2017, the Ministry of International Trade and Industry Malaysia (MITI) held the first Latin American Business Day in an effort to enhance

(MATRADE) and ten Latin American countries namely, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela.
The event was officiated by the Minister of MITI, YB Dato' Sri Mustapa Mohamed.
The program received overwhelming response with 800 participants from Malaysia and Latin
America. This full day event included presentations, panel discussions and information sharing by
speakers from Malaysia and Latin America during the plenary sessions. The event also included a
segment that featured the important role of institutions of higher learning, students and young
entrepreneurs in expanding trade and investment ties. In his keynote address, YB Dato' Sri Mustapa
urged Latin American companies to expand their market access in the region through Malaysia,
which is the perfect gateway for ASEAN markets and the wider Asian region
In conjunction with the 50th Anniversary of ASEAN on 8 August
2017, the Minister of International Trade and Industry, YB Dato’
Sri Mustapa Mohamed led the ASEAN Flag Raising Ceremony
at the Ministry of International Trade and Industry’s compound
and it was attended by around 200 officials from MITI and its
Agencies. The ceremony began with the Malaysian national

Way, and raising of the ASEAN flag. The Minister then signed
an ASEAN@50 commemorative plaque to record the golden
occasion.
On 1 August 2017, Gas Malaysia invited MSI to the meeting to discuss the issue on Natural
Gas Daily Quantity – Excess Gas Charge. The meeting was organized by MISIF at MISIF
Training Room, Shah Alam.
The Department of Standards Malaysia (Standards Malaysia), a government agency under the
Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) established the Technical Committee on
Alloy Steels for the development of Malaysian Standard for Alloy Steels. As alloy steels are used globally, standards on alloy steel are developed to ensure that the quality
of imported as well as locally products meet certain standards. Development of these standards will
be helpful in guiding metallurgical laboratories and refiners, product manufacturers and other end-
users of steel and its variants in their proper processing and application procedures to ensure quality
and safety. Hence, a Seminar on the Implementation of Malaysian Standards for Alloy Steels was held on 1
August 2017 at Concorde Hotel, Shah Alam, Selangor to:
• provide general information on the Malaysian Standards on alloy steels
• highlight the requirements of the standards which are in line with the Custom Act
• provide a platform for info sharing and discussion on matters relevant to alloy steels
