President Xi Jinping pointed out that the friendship between China and Malaysia has a long history, and the development of bilateral relations has always been at the forefront of regional countries. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the comprehensive strategic partnership between China and Malaysia, and next year will usher in the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries. During your visit, the two sides reached consensus on jointly building a community of shared destiny for China and Malaysia, which will surely open a new historical chapter in bilateral relations. The two sides should coordinate and promote the development of relations and cooperation in various fields in the next stage, promote the stability and further development of China and Malaysia relations, and inject new impetus into the prosperity and development of the two countries and the region.

President Xi Jinping emphasized that China adheres to the governance concept of taking the people as the center. You proposed to build a "Changming Great Malaysia", placing development and the people at the center. China is willing to strengthen exchanges and exchanges of experience in governance between government departments, legislatures, and political parties of the two countries, deepen mutually beneficial cooperation, accommodate each other's concerns, consolidate friendship from generation to generation, firmly support each other in safeguarding sovereignty, security, and development interests, and firmly support each other in exploring development paths that are consistent with their national conditions, based on mutual respect, honesty, and mutual trust. China will unswervingly promote high-level opening up and Chinese path to modernization, which will bring new opportunities for the development of countries around the world, including Malaysia. The two sides should continue to improve the level of high-quality joint construction of the "the Belt and Road", promote key projects, foster growth points of cooperation in digital economy, green development, new energy and other fields, and explore people's livelihood cooperation, so that China and Malaysia relations will benefit the two peoples more.

President Xi Jinping emphasized that China and Malaysia are both Asian civilizations, and they are both beneficiaries, contributors, and defenders of economic globalization and multilateralism. China is willing to work with Malaysia to promote Asian civilization, adhere to strategic autonomy, adhere to the original intention of East Asian cooperation, support the central position of ASEAN, resolutely resist the Cold War mentality and camp confrontation, and work together to build a common homeland. The two sides should deepen exchanges and mutual learning between Chinese and Islamic civilizations, adhere to true multilateralism, safeguard international fairness and justice, safeguard the common interests of developing countries, and make greater contributions to improving global governance.

Anwar expressed that I am visiting China as a true friend of China and embrace the sincere friendship towards China. The Malaysian people sincerely admire China's tremendous achievements. President Xi Jinping is a great statesman with world influence, not only changing China's historical development process, but also bringing hope for world peace and development. President Xi Jinping has a profound understanding and foresight of the international situation. The global security initiative, global development initiative, and global civilization initiative he has proposed are very visionary. The concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind is highly compatible with the concept of "a prosperous horse" proposed by the Malaysian government. Malaysia is willing to make full cooperation with China to promote the implementation and effectiveness of relevant initiatives and promote cooperation in jointly building the "the Belt and Road". Malaysia is willing to strengthen bilateral economic and trade cooperation with China and the construction of "two countries, two parks", learn from China's experience in poverty reduction, and strengthen cooperation in areas such as agricultural modernization. Chinese enterprises are welcome to invest and cooperate in Malaysia. The freedom of religious belief of Chinese Muslims and mosques have been well protected, and Malaysia is willing to deepen cultural exchanges and dialogue with China. China has never invaded any other country in its history. The recent success of China in facilitating the Saudi Arabian Beijing Dialogue has once again demonstrated China's constructive role in promoting peace. Malaysia opposes confrontations and forced sidelines. As an independent force, ASEAN will play a positive role in avoiding the escalation of regional tensions.

Wang Yi, Qin Gang, and others attended the meeting.
