Anwar Ibrahim to invite Xi Jinping to upcoming ASEAN summits

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is preparing to invite Chinese President Xi Jinping to the upcoming ASEAN Summit and the ASEAN-Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) plus China Summit scheduled for next year, coinciding with the role of the Malaysia to chair ASEAN in 2025.

Malaysia's Ambassador to Beijing, Datuk Norman Muhamad, shared this information during a press conference on Monday (Nov 4), coinciding with the Prime Minister's visit to China. I am confident that the Prime Minister will highlight our ASEAN Chairmanship, which is very important, and may invite President Xi Jinping to attend the ASEAN Summit and the ASEAN-GCC (plus China) Summit, he declared.

The prime minister is expected to begin a two-day visit to Beijing from November 6, during which he is expected to meet President Xi. I think the Prime Minister will make the most of this opportunity. This visit is an ideal time for a face-to-face meeting. Although he can also meet with President Xi at forums like APEC or the G20, this bilateral setting is more advantageous, he noted.

China views ASEAN as a vital organization for maintaining regional security and stability. Since the establishment of ASEAN-China dialogue relations in July 1991, when Chinese Foreign Minister Qian Qichen attended the 24th ASEAN Ministerial Meeting (AMM) in Kuala Lumpur, the two sides have sought to strengthen their partnership for mutual benefit.

In July 1996, China was granted full dialogue partner status at the 29th WMA in Jakarta. The ASEAN-China partnership was further solidified with the signing of the Joint Declaration on Strategic Partnership for Peace and Prosperity at the 7th ASEAN-China Summit in Bali in October 2003. Following this, ASEAN and China have completed three action plans covering the periods 2005-2010, 2011-2015 and 2016-2020. The fourth action plan (2021-2025) was adopted in November 2020, with an annex approved in August 2022.

At the 21st ASEAN-China Summit in 2018, marking the 15th anniversary of the ASEAN-China Strategic Partnership, leaders adopted the Strategic Partnership Vision 2030 to further strengthen cooperation between the two sides.

Anwar is on a working visit to China from November 4 to 7, 2024, at the invitation of his Chinese counterpart, Li Qiang, to participate in the 7th China International Import Expo (CIIE) in Shanghai. It is expected to arrive in Shanghai this evening, marking its first stop before heading to Beijing. He is accompanied by Foreign Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan, Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz and Human Resources Minister Steven Sim Chee Keong.
