KUALA LUMPUR: China’s upcoming 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030) will bring greater stability to an uncertain global environment while opening fresh opportunities for Malaysia, says China’s ambassador to Malaysia Ouyang Yujing.

Ouyang, who described 2025 as a “harvest year” for China-Malaysia relations, said the plan would guide China’s economic and social development over the next five years, reinforcing the country’s commitment to high- level opening-up and high-quality Belt and Road cooperation.
