MALAYSIA and China should broaden their strategic partnership beyond conventional trade and investment by placing greater emphasis on innovation, industrial cooperation and talent development, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said.
He said the two economies had strong complementary ties and considerable potential to deepen cooperation for the benefit of businesses and people in both countries.
“Both our economies have strong complementary ties and tremendous potential.
“Our cooperation should not be confined to traditional trade and investment alone.
“Instead, we must continue working together to explore innovation, strengthen industrial collaboration, develop talent and create greater added value for the business sectors and people of both countries,” he said.
Anwar was speaking in a video address at the 16th Malaysia-China Entrepreneurs Conference organised by the Malaysia-China Chamber of Commerce (MCCC) in Seri Kembangan today.
He said the conference had developed into an important platform for fostering business ties, strengthening mutual understanding and creating new opportunities between the two countries.
“May this conference open up new opportunities, spark fresh ideas and further strengthen ties between the business communities of both countries,” he said.
Anwar also congratulated the MCCC for continuing to provide a platform to bring Malaysian and Chinese business communities closer through stronger networks and cooperation. - November 12, 2026
