Malaysia will work with China’s history experts to collect and document historical records related to the country's history, notably research surrounding the ancient Kedah civilisation.

National Unity Minister Datuk Aaron Ago Dagang said the history of ancient Kedah was widely recorded by a Chinese historical figure, Bujannga Yi-Jing, who had once set foot in the Bujang Valley in the 7th century.
