SERDANG: Malaysia and China should strengthen cooperation by building on their economic strengths and exploring new opportunities for growth, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
He said the bilateral partnership goes beyond conventional trade and investment, offering opportunities for broader economic collaboration.
“The two economies have strong complementarities and tremendous potential.
“Our partnership extends beyond traditional trade and investment,” he said in a pre-recorded keynote speech at the 16th Malaysia-China Entrepreneurs Conference (MCEC 2026) today.
Anwar called on businesses from both countries to deepen collaboration in innovation and industrial development while investing in talent to generate greater value for businesses and their people.
“We should continue to work together to embrace innovation, strengthen industrial cooperation, develop talent, and create greater value for businesses and our people.
“May this conference open new doors, inspire fresh ideas, and bring our business communities closer together,” he said.
Organised by the Malaysia-China Chamber of Commerce (MCCC), the conference was also attended by Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives Minister Steven Sim and Deputy Finance Minister Liew Chin Tong.
