Kota Kinabalu: China sees highly of Malaysia’s Madani concept and the Sabah Maju Jaya (SMJ) development plan.
Its Consul-Ceneral here, Dr Huang Shifang, said these would create new chances for strengthening the friendly cooperation between China and Malaysia, particularly between China and Sabah.
“Standing at this new starting point, let’s jointly seize the opportunities to improve exchanges and cooperation, deepen the friendship between our peoples and promote the China-Malaysia community with a shared future,” she said in her speech a Chinese New Year reception hosted by the Chinese Consulate here, on Monday.
Huang said through cooperation, Malaysia and China would achieve the respective development goals that ensure the well-being of the people and contribute towards making the world a better place for all.
She said despite the global challenges to world peace and development last year, the people of both nations continued to forge ahead and accomplished many achievements.
“The implementation of the Malaysia Madani concept and the Sabah Maju Jaya development plan have seen remarkable progress,” she added.
China, under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party, achieved a smooth transition in its Covid-19 response efforts, she said.
“Our modernised industrial system has been further upgraded and the country’s economy has sustained the momentum of recovery,” she added.
Huang said last year, the two nations had reached an important consensus on building the China-Malaysia community with a shared future that opens a new chapter of bilateral relations.
“Since Dec 1, China and Malaysia have implemented reciprocal visa-free policies, which greatly benefits the people-to-people exchanges and cooperation between our countries,” she said.
