GHaS is positioned by JAKIM as the flagship halal-diplomacy platform under the Government of Malaysia. Programme structure (HCBC + IHTCDP + TGHT) is built end-to-end for foreign halal certification body staff and Shariah/regulator audiences — making it more of a B2G/B2B halal-governance summit than a consumer-facing expo.
