本次线上对接会以“中马携手，共创合作新机遇”为主题，旨在为中马企业搭建优良的合作与交流平台，即使是在疫情之下也能为中马双边的经贸发展创造新机遇。本次线上对接会的开幕仪式分别邀请到三位主办方代表作为嘉宾致辞，他们分别是中华人民共和国驻马来西亚特命全权大使欧阳玉靖阁下、中国银行香港副总裁王兵以及马来西亚全国总商会总会长暨马来西亚中华总商会总会长拿督卢成全。今年报名参会的企业十分踊跃，主办方共收获超过1000家中方企业及215家马方企业的报名。经主办方仔细的考量与筛选之后，最终有327家中方企业及109家马方企业于当天参会。
欧阳玉靖大使在发表主旨演讲时表示，中马建交47年来历经风云变幻、历史沉浮，中马全面战略伙伴关系已步入稳定、健康、务实的发展轨道。
过去一年多来，中马携手抗疫，积极开展疫苗合作并加快共建“一带一路”，稳步推进“两国双园”等重大项目。根据中方统计，中马双边贸易额及中国对马非金融类投资额逆势上升，截至今年上半年已分别增长43.9%和76.3%。中国也连续12年蝉联马最大贸易伙伴、连续5年成为马制造业最大外资来源国。在马的中资企业为马来西亚的产业升级及社会发展起到了积极作用。它们除了为马来西亚提供了良好的人才培训与就业机会，也为马带来了大量外汇收入。欧阳大使坚信疫情好转后，中马在双边经贸、投资等领域的合作必将迎来新一轮发展高潮；两国将继续在“一带一路”倡议框架下，深化发展战略对接，培育合作新动能，打造合作新亮点，不断提升两国经贸合作水平。
马来西亚中华总商会总会长拿督卢成全则在致辞中表示，作为马来西亚国内华裔商会的联合总机构，中总一直致力于扮演政商沟通桥梁的角色，引领工商界不断创新和改进并积极和各国工商业建立联系，带领本地企业进军海外市场以推动国家经济发展。本次对接会为根据疫情防控需要及顺应新常态，三方把对接会移师线上，尽心尽力策划，务求为企业搭建高效的交流平台。一场突如其来的疫情就像是一个“快进键”，催化着企业的成长，更是企业对危机处理能力的一次考验。他希望两国的企业能藉此把握机遇，化危机为转机，在变局中开创新局。
中国银行（香港）副总裁王兵在致辞中提到，中国银行是最早进入马来西亚的中国银行，一直以来坚定不移地支持中马经贸合作，是广大马来西亚企业的好伙伴， 更是中国企业进入当地市场的好向导。此前，中国银行曾于2015年6月到2019年9月在吉隆坡举办三场现场中小企业撮合对接会，成功吸引逾800家国内外中小企业，超过1200名企业代表参加现场洽谈会。而此次线上对接会采用的“惠如愿•中银e企赢”平台，也由中国银行自行首创推出。此平台已为五大洲125个国家和地区近4万家企业提供了精准匹配服务，平台汇集了近30万家中外优质企业并帮助它们成功实现贸易、投资、技术引进等一系列商务合作，受到各国政商界的广泛赞誉。
