YQN Logistics and Malaysia’s PKFZ Sign Strategic MoU at CIIE 2025

At the 8th China International Import Expo (CIIE) in 2025, YQN Logistics officially signed a Strategic Cooperation Memorandum with the Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) of Malaysia, marking the beginning of a new chapter in cross-border logistics collaboration and enterprise globalization.

On November 6, the signing ceremony was witnessed by Xin Xu, Deputy District Mayor of Pudong New Area; YQN Founder & CEO Cash Zhou; YQN VP of Business Development Yi Lin; PKFZ Chairman YB TUAN Lim Lip Eng; and PKFZ CEO Priscilla Lim.

A Strong Alliance

As a leading Chinese international logistics company, YQN possesses strong industry advantages and an extensive client base within China’s manufacturing sector. The Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ), as a premier Southeast Asian port and bonded logistics hub, offers preferential policies and superior infrastructure.

Under the agreement, both parties will leverage their respective strengths to support Chinese manufacturers—particularly those in light industry—in expanding to the Port Klang region. The collaboration aims to provide Chinese enterprises with high-quality local facilities and streamlined outbound logistics, while guiding manufacturing, warehousing, and value-added service providers to the PKFZ. Serving as a central hub and connecting point, PKFZ will help Chinese companies achieve global expansion and diversification, creating new pathways and opportunities for their international growth.

In media interviews, YQN CEO Cash Zhou explained: By integrating YQN’s customs declaration system with PKFZ’s digital platform, shipment data can be shared seamlessly with carriers and PKFZ authorities. This is expected to reduce customs clearance time by up to 24 hours, significantly enhancing overall efficiency.

PKFZ Chairman YB TUAN Lim Lip Eng noted that China’ s continued reforms and high-level opening-up create new momentum and opportunities for bilateral cooperation. The Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) is Malaysia’s first integrated free trade zone and a key regional logistics and trade hub. PKFZ is committed to strategic collaboration with YQN, providing stronger support and smoother access for more Chinese manufacturers expanding overseas, while contributing expertise and solutions to global logistics efficiency and sustainable development.

PKFZ CEO Priscilla Lim introduced PKFZ’ s development blueprint and expressed her expectations to jointly explore global markets alongside YQN Logistics.

Boost China’s Logistics Overseas

During the signing ceremony, YQN Founder & CEO Cash Zhou delivered a keynote titled “Boost China’s Logistics Overseas.”

Cash noted that China’s logistics industry has ranked first in the world for ten consecutive years. Behind its continuous scale expansion, the growth logic has fundamentally shifted. As a critical infrastructure supporting global trade, cross-border logistics is entering an unprecedented transformation. For logistics companies, “going global” will become a key link in aligning world economic trends, national strategies, and corporate development plans. At the same time, the rise of emerging markets in Latin America, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East presents YQN with new opportunities. YQN is committed to empowering global exporters by providing consultative international logistics services and tailored, professional solutions.

Vice President Yi Lin also shared YQN’s strategic competencies in his keynote.

Lin stated that YQN remains firmly focused on globalization and delivering a professional service experience, always placing customer needs at the core. The company continues to deepen its three key service capabilities—speed, flexibility, and security—to meet the complex and rapidly evolving demands of global trade.

Speed: Leveraging a “fast decision-making, fast execution” development model, YQN has established 25 global branches, employs over 1,500 staff, operates more than 4 million square feet of overseas warehouse space, and partners with over 300 shipping lines and airlines. Its network covers 95% of major global trade lanes and more than 3,500 partners. YQN’s services span general trade and cross-border e-commerce, supporting clients across automotive, smart manufacturing, home and outdoor, furniture, new energy, light industry, large-scale production lines, and consumer goods sectors.

Flexibility: Through a diverse range of service modules, YQN demonstrates strong adaptability, effectively meeting logistics needs across different scenarios.

Security: YQN’s global operations, integrated management model, and compliant business practices form the foundation for mitigating risk and ensuring secure operations. AI and technology enablement further strengthen the company’s ability to safeguard international shipments.

The collaboration with the Port Klang Free Zone is a testament to YQN’s commitment to speed, flexibility, and safety in action.
