Chinese diplomat Wang Yi met with Malaysia's National Security Council Director-General Raja Dato' Nushirwan bin Zainal Abidin in Beijing on November 25, 2025, emphasizing shared commitments to preserving historical justice and advancing economic collaboration. The meeting occurred during the second China-Malaysia Bilateral Dialogue on Maritime Issues Management, reinforcing stability in regional waters.
Wang, a Political Bureau member of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, stressed the importance of safeguarding the outcomes of World War II. "We must not allow historical revisionism to undermine the hard-won peace," he stated, aligning with China's longstanding emphasis on protecting post-war international order.
The dialogue highlighted plans to synchronize China's upcoming 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030) with Malaysia's 13th Malaysia Plan, particularly through infrastructure projects like the East Coast Rail Link and the "Two Countries, Twin Parks" industrial zones. Both sides identified artificial intelligence, renewable energy, and digital transformation as priority sectors for cooperation.
This year's talks build on 2024's progress in Belt and Road Initiative implementation, with bilateral trade reaching $110 billion in the first three quarters of 2025. Analysts note the discussions reflect growing ASEAN-China economic integration ahead of next month's Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership summit.
