This friendship, he said, embodies the historical wisdom and courage of both peoples and is shared treasure for the two nations.

　　Last year, both sides celebrated the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations. Over the past 50 years, China-Malaysia relations have yielded fruitful results, Xi said.

　　In the next 50 years, Xi called on both sides to continue to seize opportunities, stand at the forefront of the times, build a high-level strategic China-Malaysia community with a shared future, deliver more benefits to the two peoples, and further contribute to regional prosperity and stability.

　　Xi pointed out that Malaysia has set the theme of the ASEAN chairmanship this year as “Inclusivity and Sustainability,“ which reflects a deep insight into the current situation.

　　China supports Malaysia in playing its role as ASEAN's rotating chair, Xi said, adding that China stands ready to work with countries in the region to sign the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area Upgrade Protocol at an early date.

　　Xi urged joint efforts to reject decoupling, supply disruption, “small yard, high fence“ and tariff abuse with openness, inclusiveness, solidarity and cooperation.

　　He also called for countering the law of the jungle where the strong prey on the weak with the Asian values of peace, cooperation, openness and inclusiveness, and address instability and uncertainty in the world with the stability and certainty of Asia.

　　Anwar warmly welcomes Xi's visit to Malaysia. He said that China has been sincerely helping Malaysia for a long time, sharing weal and woe during the smooth times and the rough, and is a trustworthy friend of Malaysia.
