KUALA LUMPUR (April 2): Malaysia and China have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on the establishment of a high-level committee to promote cooperation in the post-Covid-19 era, a historic development in Malaysia-China relations and the first of its kind for Malaysia. Hishammuddin's two-day visit to China was on the invitation of Wang Yi. During their joint press conference yesterday, Hishammuddin said pursuant to the MoU, the high-level committee on post-Covid-19 cooperation was also established, co-chaired by him and Wang Yi. He stated that efforts will initially focus on laying a solid foundation for reciprocal visits by leaders of both countries — for Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s official visit to China soon — and for the leadership of China to visit Malaysia. “I would like to thank Wang Yi on his personal commitment to resolving the matter expediently following consultations with the relevant health and border authorities,” he said.
