Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and his Chinese counterpart, Li Qiang, during his official visit to China at the end of March. (Bernama pic)PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s upcoming visit to China would have a “spin-off” of another round of investments for Malaysia, like what was achieved during his previous visit in March, says economy minister Rafizi Ramli.
“Every time the prime minister visits China, it is not just to give a smile and say ‘hi’. There are a series of follow-ups, and for the memoranda of understanding and investments inked from the previous visit, (Anwar) followed up with his office and all required departments.
“I hope this spins off another round of such investments,” Rafizi told reporters after attending the Associated Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Malaysia (ACCCIM) Power Chat and launching of the 17th World Chinese Entrepreneurs Convention (WCEC) here today.
Anwar is expected to make his second visit to China as he attends the China-Asean Expo (CAEXPO) 2023 in Nanning, China on Sept 17 to further strengthen ties between the two countries and build on preparations for the 50th anniversary of the Malaysia-China relationship next year.
Rafizi said Anwar and China’s relationship is on good terms, with various meetings conducted as well as follow-up discussions from time to time.
“Such relations not only strengthen cooperation between governments but also facilitate more investments and cross-border investments between Malaysia and Chinese companies,” he said. - FMT
