The Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation organized the Malaysia International Halal Showcase (MIHAS) 2026, which features 2,000 booths and 1,700 exhibitors representing 58 countries. During the event, a strategic collaboration was established between the Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation and the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM) to launch the Halal Development Officer (HDO) Programme under the Malaysia Halal Global Nexus (MyHGN) initiative.
