KUALA LUMPUR, July 12 — China has pledged to continue giving priority to enhancing bilateral cooperation with Malaysia, especially in tackling current challenges like global inflation and food security being faced by both countries, said Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

Ismail Sabri also said China had an important role to play in ensuring world peace is maintained.
“I have expressed the view that every conflict should be resolved at the negotiating table and not through war,” he said in a Facebook post.

Ismail Sabri said Wang Yi also expressed appreciation to the Malaysian government for the opportunities given to Chinese infrastructure companies to take part in development projects such as the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL).
China also intends to continue with the rail network which also involves Laos and Thailand, he added.
At the same time, the prime minister also conveyed his best wishes to China’s President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Keqiang.
“I have expressed my desire to make an official visit to China soon and pay a courtesy call on President Xi and Premier Li,” he said.

It would be nice if China fishing vessels do not infringe into Malaysia's waters.
ReplyDeleteWakakaka…
DeleteWhen have any Chinese vessels ever infringing into m'sia territorial water?
Or is it the other way round?
What the People's Republic of China means is Malaysia must cooperatively accept that all the South China Sea's resources belong to China.
ReplyDeleteMalaysia will be cooperatively allowed to partake in any leftovers.
That way, peace and security is assured and ensured under the China Security Umbrella.
Welcome to the New Asian Order.
Indeed, welcome to a know-nothing anmokausai fart of inconsequential!
