Renewed partnership: Dr Mahathir and wife Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali meeting Xi and his wife Peng Liyuan at the Diaoyutai State Guest House in Beijing last year. During his four-day trip to China next week, Dr Mahathir is scheduled to meet Xi again for bilateral talks.
PRIME Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s trip to Beijing next week to participate in the Belt and Road Summit and Forum will be followed closely not only by Malaysians and Chinese nationals, but also the international community.
Malaysia-China ties are expected to leapfrog after one year of choppy relations, caused mainly by the cancellation of China-linked infrastructure projects by the government of Dr Mahathir, alleging corruption and price inflation in the contracts.
