Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim on Friday met with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Putrajaya.Chinese President Xi Jinping's
successful visit to Malaysia this year marked a major event in the history of Malaysia-China relations, Anwar said, adding that Xi's deep
concern for and reflections on the future of the world have earned the heartfelt respect of the Malaysian government and its people.The
fruitful cooperation between Malaysia and China in various fields has benefited the people of both countries, Anwar said.In today's world,
cooperation mechanisms such as BRICS are growing with remarkable momentum as countries pursue independence, autonomy and development, he
said. China has played a leading role in this process, which Malaysia highly appreciates, Anwar noted.Under the joint guidance of the two
countries' leaders, China-Malaysia relations have entered the best period in their history, said Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau
of the Communist Party of China Central Committee. China regards Malaysia as a sincere friend and stands ready to work with the Malaysian
side to implement the important consensus reached between the two countries' leaders and to advance the building of a high-level, strategic
China-Malaysia community with a shared future in a steady and substantive manner, he added. He said China fully supports Malaysia's work as
the rotating chair of ASEAN and in playing a greater role in regional and international affairs.As developing countries, emerging economies,
and key representatives of the Global South, China and Malaysia should join hands to meet challenges and pursue revitalization and
development together, Wang said. The United States' unilateral imposition of high tariffs is irresponsible and unpopular, Wang noted
He said China will always stand with the vast number of developing countries, remain committed to high-level opening-up, share the dividends
of its super-sized market and work together to expand the pie of win-win cooperation.
