China looks to the next chapter in bilateral ties

KUALA LUMPUR: The bilateral relations between China and Mal­aysia are “young and active”, says the Chinese embassy’s minister counsellor Chen Chen.

Noting that the governments of both countries would be hosting activities to celebrate 45 years of friendship this year, Chen said: “A 45-year relationship with a human being is considered a long one as it takes up half a lifetime. But 45 years (of bilateral relations) between two countries is very short.”
