BEIJING, Sept. 2 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Premier Li Qiang met here with Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim on Tuesday.
Anwar is in China for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Summit 2025, as well as commemorations marking the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.
Li noted that as the world enters a new period of turbulence and change, the two countries ought to engage in cooperation with greater unity, jointly safeguard the victorious outcomes of World War II and the postwar international order, and uphold the common interests of the two countries, the region, and the entire world.
China is willing to work with Malaysia to synergize their development strategies, better leverage their complementary advantages, and take bilateral win-win cooperation to a higher level, said Li.
By hosting commemorations marking the 80th anniversary of victory in its resistance war against Japanese aggression, China manifests its commitment to safeguarding world peace and promoting international fairness and justice, said Anwar.
Noting China is a trusted partner and friend to Malaysia, Anwar said Malaysia fully supports the Global Governance Initiative proposed by President Xi Jinping, and expressed the country's firm support for China to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership. ■
