Menerima Kunjungan Menteri Luar China

---

 Saya kemudian menerima kunjungan hormat Menteri Luar Negeri China, Wang Yi. Kami bicarakan pelbagai aspek hubungan Malaysia–China yang terus diperkukuh menerusi lawatan negara Presiden Xi Jinping ke Malaysia pada April lalu, yang menyaksikan pemeteraian 31 dokumen persefahaman dan perjanjian.


China kekal rakan dagang terbesar Malaysia selama 16 tahun berturut-turut dengan dagangan mencecah AS$106 bilion pada 2024. Kami meneroka usaha merapatkan jurang dagangan dan memperluas kerjasama dalam pelabuhan, LNG, air, ekonomi digital dan teknologi hijau.


Terkait isu serantau, saya menyatakan penghargaan atas sokongan China terhadap Konsensus Lima Perkara ASEAN berhubung Myanmar. Saya turut tegaskan pentingnya penyelesaian damai dalam isu Laut China Selatan berasaskan undang-undang antarabangsa dan UNCLOS.

I also welcomed Foreign Minister of China, Wang Yi on his courtesy call this morning. We reaffirmed the strength of Malaysia–China ties, elevated to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in 2013 and further deepened by President Xi Jinping’s state visit in April, which saw the exchange of 31 MoUs and agreements.


China has remained Malaysia’s largest trading partner for 16 straight years, with trade reaching US$106 billion in 2024 and over US$36 billion recorded from January to April this year. We discussed narrowing the trade deficit and expanding cooperation in port logistics, LNG, water management, and emerging sectors like the digital economy and green technology.


I also expressed appreciation for China’s constructive role in supporting ASEAN’s Five-Point Consensus on Myanmar. Both sides reiterated the importance of resolving South China Sea issues through peaceful dialogue and adherence to international law, including UNCLOS.
