THE STAR – Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said his administration will prioritise building stronger bilateral relations with China.
“Malaysia always has had very good and positive relations with China. But with the new government, our position is more clear,” he said yesterday, adding that his government’s priority was to support the “One China Policy” besides also focussing on bilateral relations.
The prime minister said this in his remarks at a bilateral meeting with his Chinese counterpart Li Qiang held at the Great Hall of the People in China yesterday.
Anwar said a lot of the policies spearheaded by Chinese President Xi Jinping such as the community with a shared future, security and civilisation initiatives are similar to the Madani concept back home.
“That is why we choose to openly and publicly support China and the Chinese leadership,” he said.
