It is with a deep sense of responsibility and honour that I embrace the prestigious role of President of the National Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Malaysia (NCCIM) for the 2024 – 2026 tenure. As we celebrate 62 years of dedicated service to the business community, I am eager to lead NCCIM towards new heights in a rapidly evolving economic landscape.

This period marks a crucial chapter for NCCIM as we align our initiatives with the Madani government's progressive, stable policies and strong international relations, thereby fostering a business environment that thrives on sustainability, integrity and innovation.

Our mission remains steadfast: "To shape and deliver a world-class ecosystem to build capacity in our business community". Over the next two years, we will intensify our efforts to advocate for and support the implementation of government policies that not only drive economic growth but also ensure inclusivity and equitable development.

NCCIM is uniquely positioned to bridge the communication between the business community and the government. We will focus on enhancing this role by facilitating robust dialogues, providing impactful platforms for networking and advocating for policies that are conducive to business growth and competitiveness.

We are committed to supporting the government's focus on digital transformation, environmental sustainability and trade facilitation. These focal areas are essential for maintaining Malaysia's competitive edge in a global context and ensuring that our economy continues to thrive in a sustainable manner.

Throughout my Presidency, I pledge to lead with a spirit of transparency and inclusivity. I look forward to drawing on the collective expertise and insights of our constituent chambers, which are crucial for driving forward the initiatives that will have a lasting impact on our community and the nation.

Thank you for your trust and support. Together, let us embrace the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead with determination and optimism, ensuring that NCCIM continues to be a pivotal force in Malaysia’s journey towards a prosperous and sustainable future.

Best wishes, 
Dato' Seri N Gobalakrishnan
