Malaysia: Korea’s important trading partner and bridgehead into Southeast Asia
As of March 2024, Korea’s exports to Malaysia amounted to US$800 million, and imports amounted to US$1 billion, making the country Korea’s 13th-largest trading partner in terms of exports. Thus, Malaysia is serving as a bridgehead for advancing further into Southeast Asia (Source: KOTRA’s trade statistics).
Malaysians use both Malay and English as their official languages, and Sabah is an Islamic state located on the island of Borneo. Its constitution recognizes freedom of religion (Christianity and Catholicism account for about 30%), and it has abundant natural resources (timber, crude oil, natural gas, minerals, etc.) and a well-developed tourism industry. The Sabah Chamber of Commerce in Malaysia was established in 2003 and currently has over 1,400 members in Sabah.
Director Won Gu-hwan of the LINC3.0 Business Unit at Hannam University explained, “We hope that the business agreement and networking program promoted during the period will not be a one-off event, but wil continue to promote cooperative projects so that Daejeon and Sabah can develop together as cooperative partners.”
Moreover, the LINC3.0 Business Unit at Hannam University expressed its ambition to provide maximum support within the possible scope so that the companies located in Daejeon and the Sabah Chamber of Commerce can interact smoothly.

The Aim of Hannam University’s LINC 3.0 Business Unit
The Unit aims to grow into a body that accelerates the industry-academia research cooperation by fostering creative talents needed by future industries, forming a symbiosis and cooperation of industry-academia research, and a business operation based on platforms and specialization for the advancement of regional industries.
