During a recent visit by Premier Li Qiang to Malaysia to commemorate 50 years of diplomatic relations, the two countries signed several trade and economic agreements. The leaders of both nations met in Putrajaya to discuss various pacts, including a new five-year deal focusing on economic and trade cooperation in priority sectors such as high-level manufacturing and the digital economy.
One significant agreement was the protocol allowing Malaysia to export fresh durians to China. This move will open up a new market for Malaysia, which has seen a surge in frozen durian exports to China in recent years.
