Malaysia PM to kick off a four-day visit

At the invitation of the Chinese side, Prime Minister of Malaysia Anwar Ibrahim will pay a working visit to China starting on Monday. The four-day visit comes less than two months after Malaysia's King Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar visited the country. China and Malaysia have witnessed frequent highlevel exchanges in recent years. Anwar paid his first visit as Malaysian prime minister to China in late March last year. He also attended the 20th China-ASEAN Expo, which was held in Nanning, Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region in September last year.
