The Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries and the Maltese Embassy in China jointly hosted the reception for the 45th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Malaysia on May 25. Ma Yin, vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and Zhuo Jiaying, the ambassador of Malta to China. The ambassadors to China, Greece, Slovakia, and the Philippines, and Wei Yan, deputy director of the United Nations International Bureau of Coordination and Minister of Information, were invited to attend.
The leaders of the older generation of China and Malaysia are far-sighted and have opened diplomatic relations between China and Malaysia. They have also opened a new page in the history of China-Malaysia exchanges.
Over the past 45 years, regardless of changes in the international situation, China-Malaysia relations have always maintained a strong vitality. The important reason for this is that China and Malaysia have established solid political mutual trust on the basis of mutual respect and understanding. Our two countries have realized The goal of common development has been to develop mutually beneficial cooperation in various forms. The peoples of our two countries have forged deep fraternal friendship in adversity and sincere mutual assistance.
The Ambassador of Malta to China, Zhuo Jiaying, said in his speech that I am very grateful to all of you for attending and thanking everyone for their support for China, as well as our small but very beautiful and economically vibrant country. Whether in terms of demographic structure or political structure and economic structure, the world 45 years ago is very different from today's world.
At that time, the concept of globalization was also proposed. The so-called Cold War still exists in the world. At that time, there were greater disagreements between different ethnic groups, different political ideologies, and different economic practices than they are now. Therefore, in the context of the time, the establishment of diplomatic relations between two ethnic groups with various differences was definitely not an easy task. The establishment of Sino-Malaysian diplomatic relations is not only a tremendous step forward for the two countries, but even for the entire world. For both countries, this is a feat. The establishment of diplomatic ties between China and Malaysia not only reflects the mutual respect between the two countries under the current situation, but also lays the foundation for the development of friendly relations between the two countries in the future.
With the passage of time, the mutual respect between the two countries has increased and the friendly relations between the two governments have also been strengthened. Therefore, the occasion of the 45th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and Malaysia is a good time for the striding of bilateral relations. As an ambassador, I hope that the peoples of the two countries will not only enhance their mutual understanding at the political and economic levels, but also at the social, cultural, educational and sports levels. It is hoped that the two countries will work together at the occasion of the 45th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations to realize this goal as soon as possible. It is not only to strengthen the friendly diplomatic relations between the governments of the two countries, but also to enhance mutual understanding between the peoples of the two countries so that the peoples of the two countries will be as united and friendly as brothers and sisters.
Mr. Hu Sishe, vice president of the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, said at the meeting that since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Malaysia 45 years ago, relations between the two countries have developed steadily. The two countries have frequent high-level exchanges, increasing political mutual trust, expanding economic and trade cooperation, and increasing exchanges and cooperation in such areas as culture, health, education, civil affairs, and youth. As a national people's organization engaged in civil diplomacy, the National Friendship Association has long been committed to non-governmental friendly exchanges with Malta and has actively promoted exchanges and cooperation between local governments in China and Malaysia.
On the occasion of the 45th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and Malawi, China National Philatelic Corporation issued a souvenir cover. The National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) Vice Chairman Ma Wei and Maltese Ambassador to China Zhuo Jiaying jointly unveiled the "Souvenir Cover". He hopes the two countries will write in the coming days. A new chapter in bilateral relations.
