Enhancing ties with China to build a strong strategic partnership is among Malaysia’s main agenda, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said on Friday, according to The Strait Times.

“Our position is that the Malaysian and Chinese ties remain very strong, and further enhanced from the normal diplomatic partnership through strong, strategic partnership,” he said after a closed door meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi at the Eastern and Oriental Hotel in Penang, The Strait Times reported.

Anwar said they spoke about various aspects of cooperation and collaboration, with a focus on investments, education and regional issues.

“I had discussions with him and other Malaysian ministers to strengthen the relationship on both sides.

“We have a strong personal bond and friendship that makes things easier for us to exchange privately, internationally and bilaterally between senior ministers from Malaysia, besides the exports of durians,” he said.

Mr Anwar then thanked Mr Wang for his role in facilitating significant Chinese investments in Malaysia such as petrochemical giant Rongsheng and carmaker Geely, along with other key players.
