Malaysian trade chief: Deeper China collaboration key to tackling global trade shocks

Chinese President Xi Jinping has embarked on a three-nation tour of Southeast Asia. As U.S. "reciprocal" tariff measures affect the global trade system, governments and businesses around the world are actively responding. China's Ministry of Commerce is stepping up efforts to integrate domestic and foreign trade, helping foreign trade enterprises expand into the domestic market.

In an exclusive interview, Malaysia's Minister of Investment, Trade and Industry Tengku Zafrul Aziz, said China's recent policy measures have effectively mitigated the potential impact of global tariff regimes. As global trade faces new challenges, Malaysia is looking to deepen cooperation with China, one of its most important trading partners and a major investor.
