In an exclusive interview with CGTN's Tian Wei, Malaysia's Transport Minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook says the China-backed East Coast Rail Link remains firmly on track, despite global uncertainties. He also highlights Malaysia and China's joint commitment to not only building but also operating the railway. With a market of 1.4 billion plus 680 million across China and ASEAN, the project will drive trade, connectivity and shared prosperity. "It's more than just rail," Loke says. "It's a long-term partnership for regional development."
