Kuala Lumpur, May 20—The China (Jiangsu)-Malaysia Economic and Trade Cooperation Exchange Conference was held grandly in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, on May 20. Focusing on trade and investment, digital economy, advanced manufacturing, and new energy, the conference aimed to deepen practical cooperation between Jiangsu and Malaysia and advance high-quality development of the Belt and Road Initiative. As an innovative enterprise in the field of membrane technology, Nanjing Zhongke Bidun New Membrane Technology Co., Ltd. was invited to attend, joining numerous participating companies to explore collaborative opportunities and inject new vitality into bilateral economic and trade exchanges.

Malaysia is Jiangsu Province’s second-largest trading partner in the ASEAN region and a key two-way investment partner. In recent years, cooperation between the two sides in economic and trade fields has yielded fruitful results, with exchanges growing increasingly close. This high-level conference featured speeches by distinguished attendees including Xu Kunlin, Governor of Jiangsu Provincial People’s Government; Chang Lih Kang, Minister of Science, Technology, and Innovation of Malaysia; Zheng Xuefang, Minister-Counselor of the Chinese Embassy in Malaysia; Tan Sri Lok Yim Pheng, Chairman of the Malaysia-China Business Council; and Dato’ Dr. Low Kian Chuan, Deputy President of the Associated Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Malaysia.

Nanjing Zhongke Bidun New Membrane Technology Co., Ltd., specializing in the R&D of high-performance PTFE hollow fiber membrane products and membrane contactor processes, drew significant attention at the conference. The company has maintained close ties with Malaysia. On November 1, 2024, technical personnel from the R&D center of Petroliam Nasional Berhad (Petronas), accompanied by professors from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the Chairman of Zhongke Bidun, visited the company’s PTFE hollow fiber membrane and component production workshop and laboratory. They inspected the production and testing processes of membrane filaments for Petronas’ decarbonization project, engaging in in-depth discussions on advancing the application of PTFE hollow fiber membranes in natural gas decarbonization. Later, on November 28, 2024, an eight-member delegation from the Malaysian Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Investment and Petronas visited Zhongke Bidun to focus on the flue gas carbon capture and decarbonization membrane project technology, which can remove over 90% of carbon dioxide from power plant flue gas, achieving carbon capture in CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage).

By participating in the conference, Nanjing Zhongke Bidun aims to further expand its business in Malaysia and explore collaboration opportunities with local enterprises in energy, environmental protection, and related fields. A company representative stated, “Zhongke Bidun possesses advanced membrane technology and extensive project experience, while Malaysia’s energy and chemical industries are rapidly developing. There is vast potential for cooperation in environmental protection and resource utilization.”

The conference concluded with a signing ceremony for cooperative projects and matchmaking exchanges among participating enterprises. The successful hosting of the China (Jiangsu)-Malaysia Economic and Trade Cooperation Exchange Conference has established a vital communication bridge for businesses from both regions. It has also created new opportunities for companies like Nanjing Zhongke Bidun to grow in Malaysia, paving the way for mutual benefits across more sectors and elevating bilateral economic and trade relations to new heights.
