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–
