WELCOME NOTE

It is my utmost pleasure to welcome you to our highly anticipated International Chinese Muslim Conference 2023 (ICMC 2023) with the theme “The Roles and Impacts of Chinese Muslims: “Embracing the Future” which will be held from August 18-20, 2023, in Kuching, Sarawak.

The ICMC 2023 is organized by the Malaysia Chinese Muslim Association (MACMA) and will feature a diverse range of sessions and workshops on topics such as education, business & finance, culture, and the role of Chinese Muslims together with other citizens in promoting peace and development. Attendees will also have the opportunity to engage in networking events and participate in cultural activities highlighting the rich

history and traditions of Chinese Muslim communities.

We are excited to host the ICMC 2023 and provide a platform for scholars, leaders, experts and society to exchange ideas and best practices for promoting development and prosperity. We believe that this conference will contribute to strengthening interfaith cooperation and promoting peace, harmony, and prosperity among people of all faiths and backgrounds. MACMA strongly supports the Malaysia MADANI concept where we celebrate diversity and inspire positive values in our society.

I eagerly anticipate the wealth of knowledge, profound insights, and meaningful connections that await us at this conference. On behalf of the MACMA Committee, we thank you for your generous support and look forward to seeing you at the International Chinese Muslim Conference 2023!
