Xi Jinping pointed out that the friendship between China and Malaysia has a long history, and the development of relations between the two countries 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 Malta, and next year will mark the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries. During your visit, the two sides reached a consensus on jointly building a community with a shared future between China and Malaysia, which will surely open a new historical chapter in bilateral relations. The two sides should make overall plans to promote the development of relations in the next stage and cooperation in various fields, promote the stability and long-term development of China-Malaysia relations, and inject new impetus into the prosperity and development of the two countries and the region.
Xi Jinping stressed that China adheres to the people-centered governing philosophy, and you proposed to build a "prosperous Malaysia" and put development and the people at the center. China is willing to strengthen exchanges and exchange of experience in governance between government departments, legislative bodies and political parties of the two countries with the Malaysian side, deepen mutually beneficial cooperation on the basis of mutual respect, frankness and mutual trust, 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 suited to their national conditions. China's unswerving promotion of high-level opening up and Chinese-style modernization will bring new opportunities for the development of all countries in the world, including Malaysia. The two sides should continuously improve the level of high-quality joint construction of the "Belt and Road", promote key projects, cultivate cooperation growth points in the fields of digital economy, green development, and new energy, and explore cooperation in people's livelihood, so that China-Malaysia relations can benefit the two peoples more.

Xi Jinping stressed that China and Malaysia belong to both Asian civilizations and are both beneficiaries, contributors and defenders of economic globalization and multilateralism. China is willing to work with Malaysia to carry forward Asian civilization, adhere to strategic independence, adhere to the original intention of East Asian cooperation, support ASEAN's centrality, resolutely resist the Cold War mentality and camp confrontation, and work together to build a common home. 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 said that as a true friend of China, I am visiting China with sincere friendship with China. Malaysians truly admire China's great achievements. President Xi Jinping is a great statesman with world influence, which not only changed the course of China's historical development, but also brought hope for world peace and development. President Xi Jinping has a deep understanding and foresight of the international situation, and his proposals for global security, global development and global civilization are far-sighted, and the concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind is highly consistent with the concept of "prosperous Malaysia" put forward by the Malaysian government. Malaysia is willing to fully cooperate with China, promote the implementation of relevant initiatives, and promote cooperation in jointly building the "Belt and Road". The Malaysian side is willing to strengthen bilateral economic and trade cooperation and the construction of "two countries, two parks" with China, learn from China's experience in poverty reduction, and strengthen cooperation in agricultural modernization and other fields. Chinese enterprises are welcome to invest and cooperate in Malaysia. The freedom of religious belief and mosques of Chinese Muslims have been well protected, and Malaysia is willing to deepen exchanges and dialogue among civilizations with China. China has never invaded other countries in its history, and China's recent success in facilitating the Shah-Beijing dialogue once again demonstrates China's constructive role in promoting peace. The Malaysian side opposes camp confrontation and forced to take sides. As an independent force, ASEAN will play a positive role in avoiding the escalation of regional tensions.
