As the conference kicked off, Liang Tiemin, Chairperson of the Chinese Entrepreneurs Association, warmly guided the guests to their seats. Both sides engaged in cordial interactions and took group photos as a memento, with a strong atmosphere of friendship prevailing at the venue, laying a solid foundation for in-depth dialogues. After taking their seats, Zhao Sen, Chairperson of Shandong Guogang, took the floor first to deliver a speech. With sincere words, he extended a warm welcome to the Malaysian guests. Starting from the macroeconomic landscape, he recounted in detail the course of China's steady economic development and its groundbreaking achievements, conducted an in-depth analysis of the historical accumulation and rich fruits of China-Malaysia bilateral economic and trade cooperation, and emphasized the strong resilience and growth potential of China's economy. When talking about China-Malaysia economic and trade exchanges, Zhao Sen stressed that the cooperation between the two sides has yielded remarkable results, becoming an important model for regional economic coordinated development. Looking to the future, he clearly proposed that Shandong Guogang expects to take emerging industries as a link to deepen practical cooperation with Malaysia, jointly explore new horizons in economic and trade, join hands to build a higher-level China-Malaysia community with a shared future, inject new impetus into the Belt and Road Initiative, and push bilateral cooperation to a higher level.
In response, he spoke highly of President Xi Jinping's successful visit to Malaysia two months ago. He said that the visit had achieved fruitful results. The two sides announced the building of a high-level strategic China-Malaysia community with a shared future and agreed to jointly create a highland for cooperation in new quality productive forces in the region. This has not only set a good example for high-quality regional development but also opened up an unprecedented broad space for China-Malaysia economic and trade cooperation. Shandong Guogang Business Management Co., Ltd. has shown outstanding performance on the stage of international cooperation, demonstrating its strong commercial strength and development potential with remarkable achievements. He promised that the Malaysia Belt and Road Chamber of Commerce would actively play the role of a bridge and bond, fully cooperate with Shandong Guogang Business Management Co., Ltd., and conduct in-depth cooperation and exchanges in multiple frontier fields such as the digital economy, scientific and technological innovation, and international economic and trade, so as to promote the economic and trade relations between the two countries to a new level.
Amidst a warm atmosphere, both sides ushered in the highly anticipated project cooperation signing ceremony. The signing of this agreement is not only a testament to the consensus reached by both sides, but also marks that the specialized business cooperation is about to take root and be put into practice. In the future, Shandong Guogang and its Malaysian partners will take this as a starting point to integrate resources, complement each other's advantages, deepen their efforts in the economic and trade field, promote the continuous expansion of bilateral trade scale, and elevate the level of cooperation.
This economic and trade negotiation exchange conference is like a bridge connecting China and Malaysia, enabling both sides to forge consensus through the collision of ideas and pursue win-win outcomes in practical cooperation. With a proactive attitude, Shandong Guogang is throwing itself into the wave of international cooperation. It will surely inject new dynamism into China-Malaysia economic and trade relations, write a new chapter of mutual benefit and win-win cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative, and let the fruits of cooperation shine brightly on the vast lands of both countries.
