Wee: Proactive measures between China and Malaysia to keep friendship intact - Nation | The Star Online
Have a prosperous year: Dr Wee and Dr Huang (second from left) giving ‘ang pow’ to children at the Ayer Hitam Chinese New Year open house at SJKC Yong Peng.
YONG PENG: Malaysia is hoping that the Year of the Goat will further strengthen and reaffirm its bilateral relationship with China which has been cemented for the past four decades.
MCA deputy president Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong said both countries had taken proactive measures and efforts to ensure the friendship between both sides remained intact.
“Our Government is making the right decision to waive the visa fee for Chinese tourists as the move will help to attract more tourists to Malaysia,” he said after hosting the Ayer Hitam Chinese New Year open house at SJKC Yong Peng yesterday..
Wee said it would be a win-win situation for both countries as Malaysia is the biggest investment destination for Chinese investors among the 10 Asean countries.
“The Chinese premier is expected to visit Malaysia this year and we hope the visit will further boost trade between the two countries,” said Dr Wee. He also thanked the Chinese Government for contributing RM17mil worth of aid to the flood disaster fund during the major floods which hit several parts of the country late last year.
Chinese Ambassador Dr Huang Huikang, who was the guest of honour at the event, said that Malaysia was his country’s main strategic partner in the region.
“Over the years, Chinese companies have invested more than US$100mil (RM364mil) in Malaysia and we expect more Chinese investors would invest here in the coming years,” he said.
Dr Huang also said China has always considered Malaysia as its “brother” in the region and would always stand with the country to face challenges together.
