In the morning of 13 August 2025 at 10:30, the Interactive Meeting of the Federation of Asia Print Exhibitions (Asia Print) was held in the Meeting Room on Level 1A, Hall 3 of MITEC, Kuala Lumpur. Concurrently with Print Technology 2025, the meeting was attended by representatives of the printing and related industries from its member and observer countries, including China, Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, South Korea, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Laos, to discuss the development trends and cooperation opportunities in Asia's printing industry.
At the beginning of the meeting, Mr. Bin YANG, President of Asia Print and Vice Chairman of PEIAC – Printing and Printing Equipment Industries Association of China, delivered a warm welcome speech, extending sincere greetings to all attending representatives. In his speech, Mr. Bin reviewed CHINA PRINT 2025 (the 11th Beijing International Printing Technology Exhibition), introduced the development status of China's printing industry, and shared the preparation progress of PRINT CHINA 2027, namely the 6th International Printing Technology Exhibition of China (Guangdong), providing valuable information for representatives from various countries to understand China's printing market and industry events. Subsequently, the representative from Malaysia, as the host, delivered a welcome speech, expressing their sincere gratitude to the support received for the meeting being held locally and expectations for future cooperation in Asia's printing industry.
In the meeting agenda, participants first approved the minutes of the previous meeting to ensure the continuity of various decisions and matters. Next, in the session of market and exhibition briefings, each member unit actively shared the latest developments of their respective national printing markets, industry trends, and information about their own printing exhibitions, with each member's speech limited to a maximum of 15 minutes. Some members also submitted detailed reports to the secretariat in advance, providing rich data and information support for the discussions, covering areas such as new technology applications, changes in market demand, and innovative exhibition models, which triggered enthusiastic discussions among the representatives.
In the session of “other issues”, after in-depth discussions, all representatives voted to approve Laos' Sign Association's membership in Asia Print, injecting new vitality into the federation and further expanding the scope of cooperation in Asia's printing industry.
At the end of the meeting, after full discussions, it was decided that the next Asia Print Interactive Meeting would be held in Indonesia in October. The organisers also clarified the relevant preparation directions for the meeting, laying the foundation for the subsequent work of the alliance. After the meeting, all participants took a group photo to mark this important occasion.
The successful holding of this Asia Print conference built a high-quality platform for in-depth exchanges and cooperation among Asian printing industries, promoted information sharing and resource integration, and played a positive role in enhancing the competitiveness of Asia's printing industry in the global market. As the industry continues to develop, Asia Print will continue to play an important role in facilitating closer cooperation and common development among member states in the printing field.
