Bilateral relations growing from strength to strength

MAY 31, 2024 marks the 50th anniversary of the People's Republic of China and Malaysia establishing diplomatic ties. Despite differences in their political structure and social settings, the two countries have made their relations a huge success based on genuine mutual trust and ready assistance to each other, whose model has been recognised as an exemplary one for both country-to-country relations and inter-civilisational interactions.

Going back 50 years, Beijing was in its early summer. Joyful spirits were everywhere. Brightly coloured “Five-Starred Red Flags" and “the Stripes of Glory” briskly fluttered over the main streets, and huge banners proclaiming "Long live China-Malaysia friendship!" floated high on tall buildings.
