The gala dinner was themed “Deepening China–Malaysia Friendship and Promoting the Integration of Culture, Tourism, and Trade,” while closely aligning with the sustainability theme of Visit Malaysia Year 2026. The event highlighted three key Malaysian tourism resources: eco-tourism, cultural heritage, and culinary experiences.

Mr. Harris Alwi, Consul General of Malaysia in Guangzhou, attended the event alongside consuls general and diplomatic representatives from Singapore, Japan, Peru, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and other countries, as well as renowned entrepreneurs and industry leaders from both China and Malaysia.

As one of the invited featured brands, PITO carefully presented three major product collections at the venue:

Palace Museum Co-Branded Dinnerware Collection

Inspired by the architectural spirit of the Forbidden City, this collection blends thousand-year-old porcelain craftsmanship with modern design aesthetics. Through high-temperature glazing techniques, it recreates the purity and grandeur of royal colors, bringing the elegance once reserved for imperial courts into contemporary everyday life.

During the gala dinner, PITO specially prepared a meaningful gift for Mr. Kuan Yu Xin, President of the Guangdong Office of the Malaysia-China Chamber of Commerce — the company’s mascot, “Fu Dun Horse.”
