In Conjunction WithNational Women’s Day 2017
Jointly Organized With The Department of Women Development
by YAB Dato’Sri Mohd Najib Tun Abdul RazakI am delighted to welcome you all to the Global Women’s Trade Summit 2017. This is the third such summit, and the �rst to be hosted in Kuala Lumpur, by the newly formed Malaysian branch of the International Women’s Federation of Commerce and Industry (IWFCI).
My congratulations to YBhg Dato’ Elaine Teh, President of IWFCI Malaysia, and to YB Dato’ Sri Rohani Abdul Karim, Minister of Women, Family and Communi-ty Development, and their teams for organising this event, which comes, appropriately, just after we have celebrated Malaysia’s National Women’s Day.
The theme for this year’s summit is “Women: Changing the Global Economy” – a theme that resonates strongly with us, as know that as we strive to achieve our goal of Malaysia becoming an inclusive, sustainable and equita-ble high income status nation, it is vital that women are supported in playing as full a role as possible in every section and at every level of society.
The Government has always recognised the crucial role played by Malaysian women, both in advancing our national development and nurturing future generations. Our Economic Transformation would simply not be possible without their contributions.
I’m glad to say that since this Government took o�ce in 2009, women have made great strides. The female labour force participation rate has increased from 46 percent to 54.3 percent last year — which is over 700,000 more women in the workforce.
We have implemented plans to improve access to the job market for all women: from skills-training for housewives and entrepreneurship opportuni-ties for single mothers; to micro-credit facilities for women in rural communi-ties; to training programmes for high level professionals, and making it easier for child care centres to be set up in the private sector.
Women now make up 30 percent of top management, and we have set 2020 as the date by which we want all Public Listed Companies to have at least 30 percent women at board level. Because we know that when women succeed, we all succeed.
I am sure that the IWFCI summit will be a source of huge encouragement to Malaysian women entrepreneurs who want to grow their businesses, to take them to the regional or even the global level, and enable them to connect and network with others from around the world, giving greater opportunities to all.
Thank you for your dedication to developing the business platform for women in Malaysia even further. I am sure that this will bring not only fresh perspectives and solutions, but will forge links between potential business partners; and we are proud that IWFCI holding this summit here in Kuala Lumpur is recognition of the importance we have always placed on advanc-ing the cause of, and opportunities for, women.
I wish you every success.

WOMEN: CHANGING THE GLOBAL ECONOMY
by YBhg Dato’ Elaine TehPresident of IWFCI, Malaysia
Today, a new era begins in corporate Malaysia, and a new world of opportuni-ties opens up for an estimated 13 million local women entrepreneurs. Today, an arm of the “International Women’s Federation of Commerce and Industry” is born, and a link in the global chain of international commerce settles in Malaysia. As President of the IWFCI Malaysia chapter, I am honoured to launch it on the Malaysia National Women’s Day.
As the trade and commerce industry booms ever bigger on the global front, we intend to steer Malaysia’s prospects into ever brighter terrain. We extend a hand to you, to join us on this visionary journey.
by YB Dato’ Sri Rohani Abdul KarimMinister of Women,Family and Community Development
Welcome to the beginning of a chapter in Malaysian history, the launch of the IWFCI on the local soil of trade, investment, and economic activity.
It goes without saying that the community bene�ts greatly from this action, but let’s delve into how. Disadvantaged women from rural areas, low-income households, single wives with children, all stand a better chance. When one woman is lifted, she becomes better able to lift another; so far, esteemed members have proven this by their passionate dedication to teaching disadvantaged women how to grow their own business.
To quote an old saying, “Give a man a �sh and you feed him for a day; teach a man to �sh and you feed him for a lifetime.” Ladies, I am certain that the IWFCI will be just the resource you require for your professional and entrepreneurial targets.
