China, Malaysia eye booming cooperation

There are huge opportunities for Malaysia and China to enhance cooperation as the two countries celebrate the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties this year, officials and experts said at a forum in Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday.

"In our nation-building journey for shared prosperity, we recognize China as a reliable friend and partner," Malaysia's Deputy Minister of Energy Transition and Water Transformation Akmal Nasrullah Mohd Nasir said at the Malaysia-China Commemorative Forum.

Akmal, as a representative of Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof, noted the ample opportunities for both sides to consolidate and further expand the time-honored bilateral relationship.
