China to promote all-around partnership with Malaysia

President Xi Jinping has called on China and Malaysia to use the 50th anniversary of bilateral ties as an opportunity to promote all-around bilateral cooperation in order to benefit their respective development and make greater contributions to regional prosperity and stability.

Xi made the remarks when meeting with visiting Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on Thursday, the last day of the Malaysian leader's four-day working visit to China.

This was Anwar's third visit to China since taking office in 2022. During his first visit to China in March last year, the two sides reached a consensus on building a China-Malaysia community with a shared future, marking a new chapter in bilateral relations.
