On the morning of May 30, 2005, Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC) Wu Bangguo who was paying an official good-will visit to Malaysia held talks with Speaker of the House of Representatives of the Malaysian Parliament Ramli Ngah Talib in the parliament building. In a friendly atmosphere, the two sides exchanged views on bilateral relations, exchanges between the parliaments of the two countries as well as international and regional issues of common concern and reached broad consensus.

Ramli expressed warm welcome to Chairman Wu's visit. He said the friendly exchanges between Malaysia and China enjoy a history of over 600 years. Bilateral friendly relations have become increasingly close since the establishment of diplomatic ties. He has been looking forward to Chairman Wu's visit and believed that his visit would boost the in-depth development of Malaysia-China friendly relations and the friendship between the two peoples.

Wu expressed appreciations to Ramli for his kind invitation. He said China and Malaysia are close neighbors and the two peoples enjoy a long history of friendly exchanges. Since the establishment of bilateral diplomatic ties, China-Malaysia relations have become increasingly mature and entered into a period of comprehensive and rapid development with frequent exchanges of high-level visits, increasing political mutual trust and expanding exchanges and cooperation in trade, economy, culture, education, science and technology. China is satisfied with the good momentum of bilateral relations and is optimistic about the prospect of bilateral relations. We stand ready to join hands with Malaysia to carry on bilateral traditional friendship, continuously uplift the level of bilateral strategic cooperation and ensure China and Malaysia to be good neighbors, friends and partners forever.

Wu said China and Malaysia, both developing countries, share consensus on a wide range of major international and regional issues and have maintained good coordination and cooperation, making positive contributions to safeguarding the legitimate rights of developing countries. Both countries advocate the democratization of international relations, giving the right of decision-making in national affairs to the people of each country and consulting on an equal footing in international affairs. Both countries insist to cultural diversity, learning from each other through competition and common development by seeking common grounds while putting aside differences. Both countries advocate the idea that economic globalization should benefit developing countries, the promotion of South-South cooperation, North-South dialogue and regional cooperation so as to realize common prosperity. Facts have proved that the development of bilateral ties is in the fundamental interests of the two peoples and conducive to peace and prosperity in the region.

When talking about parliamentary exchanges, Wu said as an important part of bilateral relations, the exchanges between China's NPC and Malaysia's parliament play an irreplaceable role of boosting the understanding and friendship between the two peoples and promoting the sustained expansion of bilateral strategic cooperation. The NPC attaches importance to the development of relations with Malaysia's parliament, would like to maintain the sound momentum of top-level exchanges, push forward the friendly exchanges between the two countries' ad hoc committees, amity groups, young parliamentarians and working bodies and enhance exchanges in legislative and supervisory areas so as to inject new contents and vitality into China-Malaysia relations.

Ramli fully agreed with Chairman Wu and expressed the hope for increased cooperation in trade and economy and closer exchanges between parliament leaders and parliamentarians of the two countries.

When talking about the Taiwan issue, Wu said the issue bears on China's core interest. He thanked the Malaysian government for its understanding of and support for China's promulgation of the Anti-Secession Law and expressed his appreciations for Malaysia's long-term adherence to the one-China policy and opposition to "Taiwan independence."

Ramli said Malaysia has all along followed the one-China policy and will continue to do so, expressing sincere hopes for China's early reunification.

Following the talks, Chairman Wu and Speaker Ramli attended the signing ceremony of four documents including the Memorandum of Understanding on the Thermal Power Generation Project in Sarawak State of Malaysia contracted by China National Machinery & Equipment Import & Export Corporation (CMEC). Wu also visited the Congress Hall of Malaysia with the company of Ramli.
