Thriving Malaysia-China ties are on even footing – Anwar Ibrahim 

Prime minister articulates why this bilateral relationship is an equal partnership 

Updated
2:56 PM MYT

 

MANY of my overseas friends question whether our enhanced bilateral relationship with China could disadvantage Malaysia, especially as we are a smaller nation. 

I assure that our relationship is rooted in mutual respect.

In fact, there is historical precedence, dating back to the emperors of China and the Sultans of Melaka, that the relationship between our two nations can be mutually beneficial.

My discussions with Premier Li Qiang this week reaffirmed my belief in the friendly, courteous, and respectful nature of the Chinese leadership toward Malaysia.

Despite the barrage of questions and narratives, especially from the West, I have witnessed a profound understanding and appreciation of cultural differences from our Chinese counterparts.

Throughout our discussions, there was no hint of arrogance or condescension. We tackled contentious issues as equal partners and trusted friends.

I take this opportunity to reassure others, especially fellow Malaysians, that our relationship with China reflects genuine respect and friendship. We remain committed to nurturing and strengthening the bonds between Malaysia and China.

Malaysia and China’s relationship is evolving into a dynamic partnership extending far beyond trade and investment. 

Contrary to concerns about potential exploitation, our engagement is based on mutual learning and shared benefits, helping to uplift our people and foster growth in both nations.

Our shared vision encompasses concerns for our families and the future of our children – focusing on quality education, advancements in TVET, artificial intelligence, and digital infrastructure.

These are areas where both Malaysia and China can significantly contribute. 

By working together as close friends, we are building a future where both nations thrive and prosper. – June 22, 2024

Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is the prime minister of Malaysia
