Kuala Lumpur, The Gulf Observer: Chinese Premier Li Qiang arrived in Malaysia on Tuesday for an official visit. It is the third and final leg of his eight-day tour, which also took him to New Zealand and Australia.

During his stay in Malaysia, Li will have talks with Malaysia’s King Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar and Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and attend an event commemorating the 50th anniversary of China-Malaysia diplomatic relations with Anwar.

Over the past 50 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations, China-Malaysia relations have maintained healthy development, Li said, adding that strategic mutual trust has continued to be consolidated, and people-to-people and cultural exchanges have become increasingly close.
