Held at the Nanning
Television Station, the ceremony recognised contributions made by outstanding
individuals and organisations from participating countries of the annual expo.
Bernama was represented by
BernamaTV Business Journalist Wan Nor Azura Mior Abd Aziz who received the award.
She is there to cover Caexpo
which runs from Sept 3 to 6.
A total of 66 press outfits
were honoured with the award, including 56 rewarded with the Outstanding
Journalist Award.
Other Malaysian media which
were also honoured with the award were Malaysian television station TV3,
Chinese dailies Nanyang Siang Pau and Sin Chew Daily.
Founded a decade ago, the
annual Caexpo served as a platform to
enhance ties between the two sides.
Malaysian International
Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed says the 10th
China-Asean Expo (Caexpo) 2013 serves as a platform to popularise Malaysian
products in China.
Several Malaysian companies
have succeeded in penetrating the China market particularly small and medium
enterprises (SMEs).
Being the world's second
biggest market, the ministry and the Malaysian External Trade Development
Corporation (Matrade) have brought in SMEs through Caexpo to make inroads in
China and establish themselves.
The companies have grown
from small entities to big companies with turnover reaching millions of ringgit.
Among the companies are
Julie's biscuits and chocolate from Perfect Food Manufacturing (M) Sdn Bhd
which export 50 containers a month to China while Ipoh white coffee has also
popularised its name in China through Caexpo.
Datuk Seri Mustapa said some
companies started participating in Caexpo since 2004 and with their strong
position now, it was easier for them to invest in China.
According to projections,
China will overtake the United States as the world's biggest economy in the
next 15 years.
A total of 138 Malaysian
companies are participating in this year's Caexpo.
