On 20 May 2024, CIMT paid a courtesy call on Deputy State Secretary (Development), Datuk Md. Azhan Samat, at his office at the Seri Negeri Complex, Melaka. During the visit, CIMT gained insights on the Straits of Melaka Waterfront Economic Zone – M-WEZ, a strategic initiative aimed at transforming Melaka into a dynamic economic zone and the Visit Melaka 2024 tourism campaign. The discussions focused on SM-WEZ’s potential to serve as a hub for economic activities, leveraging Melaka’s strategic location along key maritime routes and how the project can complement IMT-GT’s focus on enhancing economic corridors in the sub-region.
Discussions on tourism activities focused on how Tourism Melaka can leverage on the current Visit IMT-GT Year 2023-2025 campaign and activities of mutual interest. CIMT looks forward to exploring opportunities for fostering collaboration and strengthening cooperation with Unit Perancang Ekonomi Negeri Melaka and the IMT-GT subregion as a whole, utilising the opportunities presented by the SM-WEZ and the tourism sector for mutual growth and development.
