The World Halal Forum is the world's premier event for the halal food industry, held annually in Kuala Lumpur. The 6th forum was held in April 2011 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, themed on building a Halal economy and value system in the global market, with more than 600 delegates from over 40 countries attending. This year's World Halal Forum was a milestone in the halal industry—the first to unveil the Halal Food Index, which positions Halal as an asset class for the investment community. The SAMI (Socially Acceptable Market Investments) Halal Food Index includes more than 200 companies in Muslim-majority countries, with a total market value of over US$100 billion. The Ningxia trade delegation attended this forum and reaped a rich harvest.

The Ningxia trade delegation reaps a rich harvest

The Ningxia trade delegation found good cooperation partners, and the two sides reached consensus on the export of Halal food and Muslim goods and on cooperation in sand prevention and control. At this forum, through contact and communication with Malaysia's Hongyu Group, the IMAF company, Malaysia's Fahim Technology Co., Ltd., and Singapore's International Enterprise board, the Ningxia trade delegation reached cooperation consensus on halal industry cooperation, the Yinchuan Yuehai Bay business district, the Ningxia World Muslim City and other projects. Among them, the autonomous region's Investment Promotion Bureau signed a letter of intent for economic and trade cooperation with the IMAF company, and the autonomous region's Forestry Bureau also signed a letter of intent for sand-prevention-and-control cooperation with the IMAF company.
