Xi lauds fruitful ties with Malaysia

Nations agree to oppose unilateral tariffs and foster regional stability

Beijing and Kuala Lumpur agreed on Wednesday to jointly build a high-level strategic China-Malaysia community with a shared future by enhancing political mutual trust, deepening practical cooperation and expanding cultural exchanges, as the two countries usher in a new "Golden 50 Years" for bilateral ties.

The two sides also expressed opposition to the unilateral imposition of tariffs and vowed to strengthen regional cooperation in the face of the world's instability and uncertainty.

The consensuses were reached when President Xi Jinping held talks with Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. Xi is making a three-day state visit to the Southeast Asian country, the second leg of his three-nation tour of the region.
