Cooperation with China to bolster Malaysia's development, says expert


KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's cooperation with China will play a crucial role as it implements the latest edition of its national development plan, aimed at advancing socio-economic development and strengthening resilience, Xinhua reported, citing an expert.

The 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP), Malaysia's latest five-year national development plan, prioritises improving healthcare quality, developing highly skilled human capital through education reforms, and positioning Malaysia as a regional leader in artificial intelligence (AI), digital technology, and renewable energy - all areas where China has already made significant advances and could offer support and knowledge-sharing, Lee Pei May, from the International Islamic University Malaysia, told Xinhua in a recent interview.
