Zohari, Speaker of the House of Commons of the Malaysian Parliament, who is visiting China, said in an exclusive interview with reporters in Beijing on the 26th that Malaysia strongly supports the "the Belt and Road" initiative, and the Malaysian side has benefited greatly from the "the Belt and Road" cooperation. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the the Belt and Road Initiative. The third the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation will be held in Beijing in October. Malaysia is one of the first countries to support and participate in the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road". Zohari said that the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road" will help promote Malaysia's economic development and progress. The major projects of the two sides' cooperation, such as the East Coast Railway of Malaysia and the "Two Countries, Two Parks" between China and Malaysia, are vivid examples. Zohari said that the eastern coast of Malaysia has charming natural scenery and rich cultural resources, but has been seen as an "almost forgotten" place due to a lack of investment and connectivity for many years. The Malaysia East Railway project under the framework of the "the Belt and Road" has played an important role in promoting local economic development, infrastructure construction and connectivity, and improving people's well-being. Malaysian people expect the project to be completed as soon as possible. Zohari said that co building the "the Belt and Road" cooperation is conducive to helping co building countries achieve sustainable development. The "the Belt and Road" investment focuses on infrastructure and industrial parks, which will take many years to complete. Relevant investment will not only increase the local employment rate, but also help to improve the level of local economic and social development. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the establishment of a 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. Zohari said he hopes that the relationship between the two countries can be further strengthened and consolidated. Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar has visited China twice this year, which fully demonstrates that Malaysia attaches great importance to its relations with China. In the interview, Zohari also emphasized the importance of personnel exchanges. He stated that the friendship between Malaysia and China has been passed down for thousands of years and deeply rooted in people's hearts. Among Malaysian residents, Chinese people are well integrated into local culture and make important contributions in business, innovation, and education. The Malaysian side is willing to take the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries as an opportunity to continue promoting people-to-people and cultural exchanges between the two countries and promoting mutual understanding between the two peoples. During Zohari's visit to China, he also attended the opening ceremony of the Hangzhou Asian Games. The green, low-carbon, and sustainable concepts of this Asian Games left a deep impression on him. There is no doubt that the opening ceremony of the Hangzhou Asian Games is a successful and exciting event, a crystallization of courage, wisdom, and innovation, "said Zohari. Zohari also stated that Malaysia is willing to deepen cooperation with China in various fields such as green development, new energy, and digital economy, and work together to address common challenges.
