The Chinese President Xi Jinping will pay three Southeast Asian countries – Vietnam, Malaysia and Cambodia – a state visit next week, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Friday.
The five -day trip to the neighboring countries, which lasts from Monday to Friday, is the first trip abroad XIS this year.
The visits will take place a few days after the Chinese head of the state will take place to build a community with a common future with the neighboring countries of China at a recently held central conference on neighborhood work.
The neighboring countries are China’s priority in his diplomacy, and China and the Southeast Asian countries are good neighbors, good friends and good partners with a future together, said Lin Jian, spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, on Friday.
The upcoming visits of the Chinese president are of great importance for the relationships of China to Vietnam, Malaysia and Cambodia as well as for the association of Southeast Asian (Asean) as a whole, Lin said at a daily press conference.
The visits should also give new impulses for peace and development in the region and the world, he added.
China and Vietnam: camaraderie and fraternity
From Monday to Tuesday, XI travels to Vietnam to his fourth visit to the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the China Communist Party and Chinese President. The trip coincides with the 75th anniversary of the admission of diplomatic relationships between China and Vietnam, two socialist neighbors, who have received a permanent connection under the motto “Comradeship and fraternity”.
Xi last visited Vietnam in December 2023, when both sides agreed to build a Chinese-Vietnamese community with a common future that is of strategic importance and raises bilateral relationships to a new level.
The economic and trade policy cooperation between China and Vietnam has developed steadily in recent years. China has been the largest trading partner of Vietnam since 2004, and Vietnam has been the largest trading partner of China within the Asean since 2016. The bilateral trading volume exceeded $ 200 billion in a row and reached $ 260.65 billion in 2024, which corresponds to an increase of 13.5 percent compared to the previous year, as data from the Chinese Ministry of Commerce show.
The direct investment of Chinese companies in Vietnam in 2024 exceeded $ 2.5 billion, which according to the ministry maintained rapid growth and made Vietnam an important goal for foreign investments from China.
China and Malaysia: Models of a Win-Win cooperation
The Chinese President last visited Malaysia in 2013 when the two countries expanded their relationships with a comprehensive strategic partnership. A decade later, XI and the Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim in Beijing met an agreement on the joint structure of a Chinese-Malaysian community with a common future.
In recent years, China and Malaysia have developed their relationships at a high level. Both sides had frequent high-ranking interactions, continued to consolidate the political mutual trust, achieved fruitful results in practical cooperation and set an example of mutual understanding and a win-win cooperation between neighboring countries.
The cooperation between China and Malaysia has expanded beyond the horizon. China has been the largest trading partner for 16 years in a row in a row, whereby the volume in 2024 will reach an all -time high of $ 212.04 billion. In recent years, Malaysia’s tropical fruits such as Durian, Mangostan and Jackfrucht have become increasingly popular with Chinese consumers.
China and Malaysia are important developing and emerging countries in the Asian-Pacific area. The upcoming visit to the Chinese head of state is an important milestone for the expansion of relationships between China and Malaysia, said Lin, the spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
This visit hopes that China hopes for a further strengthening of the coordination with Malaysia in regional and international questions, a development of bilateral relationships in the direction of building a high-ranking strategic Chinese-Malaysian community with a common future and new contributions to the growing strength and unity of the global south as well as peace and stability in the region, he said.
China and Cambodia: unbreakable friendship
XI finally paid off a state visit in 2016. In September 2023, the Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet China, as his first official travel destination after taking office, chose a gesture that reflects the diplomatic priority of Cambodia. At their meeting at the time, XI and Hun Manet promised to continue to maintain the inconsistent friendship between China and Cambodia.
In recent years, China and Cambodia have further deepened the mutual strategic trust, expanded the cooperation framework “Diamond Hexagon”, made constant progress in the construction of the industrial development corRidor and the “Fish and Rice Corridor” and made fruitful results in cooperation.
China has been the largest foreign investor and trading partner Cambodia now for several years. The free trade agreement between China and Cambodia, which came into force on January 1, 2022, is the first bilateral free trade agreement that Cambodia has ever concluded. In 2024, the trading volume between Cambodia and China reached $ 15.1 billion, increasing by 23.8 percent compared to the previous year.
Lin said that during the upcoming visit of the Chinese president, Lin will have discussions about the deepening of bilateral relationships and have an intensive exchange of views over five areas, including political mutual trust, advantageous cooperation, security, cultural exchange and exchange between people as well as strategic coordination.
