MALAYSIA welcomed Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao yesterday for an official visit.
Wen wants to discuss boosting China's infrastructure investments in Malaysia and Indonesia, he said in an interview with media from both countries on his Southeast Asia trip. The investment projects include a Malaysian bridge and a paper mill on Borneo island.
Wen met with Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak yesterday.
Wen said that he wishes both sides continue deepening cooperation from a strategic and long-term perspective so as to create a more splendid future for their relations.
Najib said he is confident Wen's trip will further deepen bilateral pragmatic cooperation and bring the two countries' strategic cooperation onto a higher stage.
Wen is scheduled to speak to business leaders and witness the signing of an agreement on student exchange programs.
Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin has said that the leaders are also expected to discuss the South China Sea issue.
Wen told Malaysian media in Beijing that he believes countries should cooperate to develop resources in the South China Sea, which is "in the interest of regional peace."
He also reiterated China's position that territorial claims and maritime rights are best handled through bilateral channels, not multilateral forums.
Wen will leave today for Indonesia, where he plans to meet President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and attend an economic forum.
