China is ready to import more palm oil, tropical fruits, and other agricultural products from Malaysia, said its State Councillor and Foreign Affairs Minister Wang Yi.
Wang, who is on a two-day official visit to Malaysia which started yesterday, said China will also make an early arrangement for the first group of Malaysian students to return to China and resume their studies.
He said there were also plans for a significant increase in the number of direct flights between China and Malaysia which is consistent with the aspiration of the people of both countries.
“We're confident as the Covid-19 situation continues to be managed, the people of our two countries can visit each other as often as possible, as members and relatives of the families,” Wang said.
He said this will enhance bilateral ties and people-to-people contact.
He was speaking during a joint press conference with his Malaysian counterpart Saifuddin Abdullah which was held after their bilateral meeting in Kuala Lumpur today.
Wang said both countries will also leverage the opportunities offered by the 10th Anniversary of the Establishment of China-Malaysia Qinzhou Industrial Park.
They will be putting in place a pilot zone for innovative economic and trade cooperation, he added, as well as a demonstration of production capacity under the Belt and Road Initiative.
“We will foster new growth points in the digital economy and other areas so that we can jointly improve our competitiveness and level of development,” he said.
Wang said he and Saifuddin also discussed redoubling efforts to advance the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) project and the development of areas along the line.
“We will stay in communication on the construction of the Singapore-Malaysia railway,” he added.
He said both countries also looked forward to the completion of the central line of the Pan-Asian railway link to achieve interconnected development and speed up the process of regional integration through the connectivity of China, Laos, and Thailand railways.
On a lighter note, Wang said he was impressed with the Musang King cheesecake served during his meeting with Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob earlier today.
“Well, this morning I had a working lunch. The prime minister served Musang King cheesecake as dessert, which is so delicious. And I'm so impressed,” he said.
