GEORGE TOWN – Malaysia intends to enhance its diplomatic engagement with China to ensure that the two countries become a strong strategic partnership in the future, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
Anwar said that Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi’s visit to Malaysia is significant, as he is also a senior minister in China, reflecting the strong bond between the two nations.
“Our position is to ensure the relationship with China remains strong, and is further enhanced by the normal diplomatic engagement to become a strong strategic partnership,” he told reporters, after the courtesy call by Wang and Chinese delegates here today.
Anwar also thanked Wang for facilitating many major Chinese investments in Malaysia.
Earlier, Wang had a four-eye meeting with Anwar for about 25 minutes at a hotel here today, before they were joined by Transport Minister Anthony Loke; Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing; Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Chang Lih Kang, and also Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow for further discussion. – Bernama, August 11, 2023
