KUALA LUMPUR, Nov. 28 (Xinhua) -- Visa exemptions implemented by China for Malaysian nationals and Malaysia's policy for Chinese nationals have strengthened tourism and people-to-people relations, a Malaysian official said here on Thursday.
An exponential increase in Chinese tourists to the Southeast Asian country was a testament to the success and wisdom of the policies, with 2.69 million Chinese tourists visiting Malaysia in the first nine months this year, a 144 percent increase compared to the same period last year, Tourism, Arts and Culture Ministry Secretary-General Roslan Abdul Rahman told Xinhua.
