PUTRAJAYA: Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad will hold bilateral meetings with China’s three key leaders when he visits the country tomorrow for the Belt and Road Summit and Forum.
This, according to Foreign Minister Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah, is a “very, very good sign” about Malaysia’s ties with China.
“That, in itself, is a very, very good sign,” Saifuddin said at a media conference at Wisma Putra yesterday. Saifuddin said he recently chaired a meeting with experts and organisations involving Malaysia-China ties including the Malaysia-China Business Council, Malaysia-China Chamber of Commerce, Malaysia-China Friendship Association as well as think tanks and academics.“They said the feeling on the ground is very positive.
Saifuddin said some people manipulated facts about Icerd and ICC, which led to confusion, and along with attempts at fear mongering, had caused unnecessary worries among the people.On Nov 23 last year, the government announced that it decided not to ratify Icerd but said it would continue to defend the Federal Constitution, which contains a social contract agreed upon by all races during the formation of the country.
