KUALA LUMPUR, July 11 (Xinhua) — Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim met with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in the country's administrative capital Putrajaya on Friday. The two sides pledged to advance bilateral ties and cooperation.

The talks took place during Wang Yi's visit to Malaysia to attend the ASEAN Plus Foreign Ministers' Meeting. Noting that China is a reliable friend and partner of Malaysia, Anwar Ibrahim said that a friendly attitude towards China is the consensus of both the Malaysian government and people. Cooperation between the two countries in various fields benefits the people of both countries.

At a time when multilateral mechanisms such as BRICS are gaining strength and countries are striving for independence and development, China is playing a leading role and Malaysia highly values its contribution to these processes, the head of the Malaysian government noted.

For his part, Wang Yi, who is also a member of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee, said that under the leadership of the two heads of state, bilateral relations have entered the best period in their history.

China is a sincere friend of Malaysia and stands ready to work with it to fully implement the important consensus reached by the two leaders and advance the building of a high-level strategic China-Malaysia community with a shared future, Wang said.

The Chinese Foreign Minister also expressed China's full support for Malaysia's ASEAN chairmanship in 2025 and its greater role in regional and international affairs. The diplomat added that China hopes to achieve new progress in China-ASEAN cooperation.

According to Wang Yi, China and Malaysia, as developing countries, emerging markets and key players in the Global South, should jointly confront challenges and achieve common development and prosperity.

The US's unilateral imposition of high tariffs is an irresponsible move that runs counter to global cooperation and common interests, Wang said, adding that China will always adhere to a high level of openness with developing countries and share the advantages of its huge market to expand win-win cooperation.

During the visit, Wang Yi also held talks with Malaysian Foreign Minister Mohamad Hassan. –0–

BEIJING, July 11 (Xinhua) — Closed exclusivity is not an option for China and the country will continue to take practical measures to expand opening up at a high level, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said Friday.

In this way, the diplomat commented at a regular press briefing on media reports according to which China's visa-free policy shows the world the country's viability, which is the opposite of the recent tightening of visa requirements and the growing trend towards isolation in some countries.

At present, China has unilaterally introduced a visa-free regime for citizens of 47 countries, and visa-free transit for citizens of another 55 countries, Mao Ning recalled, adding that China has consistently made efforts to simplify the visa application procedure, provide one-stop services to those entering the country, and provide those leaving the country with a tax refund immediately after making a purchase. Thus, trips of foreign friends to China have become more comfortable, the diplomat noted.

“Decoupling and disrupting industrial and supply chains, as well as closed exclusivity, are not options for China,” Mao Ning said.

“China will continue to take high-level measures to expand opening-up, share opportunities and create a common future with all countries,” she added. -0-

KUALA LUMPUR, July 11 (Xinhua) — China is willing to work with Malaysia to implement the consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries on building a high-level strategic China-Malaysia community with a shared future, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, a member of the Politburo of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said at a meeting with Malaysian Foreign Minister Mohamad Hassan here on Thursday.

Wang Yi called on the two countries to fully implement the plans to jointly build the Belt and Road and strengthen cooperation in the fields of economy, trade, investment and connectivity. Key projects such as the Malaysian East Coast Railway and the "Two Countries, Twin Parks" should be steadily promoted, he said.

The Foreign Minister also called for in-depth cooperation in new and advanced sectors to jointly establish a regional cooperation center in the field of new quality productive forces.

The Minister stressed the need for further efforts in dialogue between Confucian and Islamic civilizations and the implementation of the soon-to-come agreement on mutual visa-free regime to intensify mutual travel and strengthen the social foundation of bilateral relations.

China is willing to work with Malaysia to enhance political mutual trust, deepen integration of interests, strengthen strategic coordination and develop traditional friendship so as to implement the roadmap drawn up by the leaders of the two countries, Wang said.

According to the minister, China and ASEAN are good neighbors, friends and partners. The two sides have fully concluded negotiations on the Free Trade Area 3.0, demonstrating through concrete actions their commitment to expanding the common market and protecting free trade.

Wang Yi said the US's imposition of high tariffs on ASEAN members is a typical act of bullying and unilateralism that no country supports. China's decisive countermeasures are aimed at protecting not only its own interests but also the common interests of all countries, including ASEAN members, he stressed.

China is willing to strengthen cooperation with ASEAN, uphold the multilateral trading system, ensure the stability of global industrial and supply chains, and promote inclusive economic globalization, the foreign minister said.

In turn, M. Hasan said that relations between Malaysia and China are experiencing the best period in history. In the context of growing uncertainty in the world, it is time to strengthen cooperation between Malaysia and China, as well as within the ASEAN, he noted. Malaysia highly values the friendship between the two countries and firmly adheres to the one-China policy, the minister added.

Malaysia supports the three global initiatives put forward by Chinese President Xi Jinping and is willing to deepen practical cooperation with China in areas such as trade, investment, infrastructure, digital economy and green development, Hasan said.

“In the current circumstances, we can clearly see who the real friends are. When faced with issues like tariffs, Malaysia will not only consider its own interests and will not sacrifice the interests of third parties, ASEAN does not do that,” he stressed. –0–
