KOTA KINABALU : Malaysia and
China agreed that any territorial dispute or conflict in the South China Sea
should be resolved peacefully via discussions.
Malaysian Foreign Minister
Datuk Seri Anifah Aman said both countries stressed the importance of
diplomacy, especially countries involved, to engage in dialogues to resolve
issues, so as to ensure peace in the region.
"Our discussion was
very positive and I believe the bilateral relationship between Malaysia and
China will continue to strengthen," he told reporters after attending a
bilateral meeting with China's Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi, here Sunday.
Anifah said more direct
flights from China to Sabah, would be introduced to enhance the tourism sector
and strengthen the relationship between both countries in various sectors.
He said a proposal for China
to set up Consulate General's office in Malaysia would expedite and ease the
process of entry for leaders from both countries as well as tourist arrivals.
Yang Jiechi who is on a
three-day official working visit to Sabah since Aug 11, also recognised the
role played by Malaysia to strengthen China's relationship with Asean
countries.
The Chinese Foreign Minister
also paid a courtesy call on Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak during a
breaking of fast ceremony held at the Kimanis Parliamentary constituency recently.
