00:00Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has lauded China's role on the global stage describing Beijing as

00:07a source of renewal in an era where economic tribalism is on the rise and multilateral

00:12cooperation is under threat. At an official dinner held in honor of Chinese President Xi Jinping,

00:17Anwar said China's initiatives were bringing a new lease of hope at a time when the international

00:22order was fraying. China's global initiative offers a new lease on hope. They look outward,

00:30not inward. They speak not of rivalry, but of renewal. What we are witnessing today

00:38is not an honest reckoning with the imperfections of globalization, but the retreat into economic

00:45tribalism. Market access is being weaponized. What was once a multilateral convenant for

00:54shared growth now buckles under the weight of arbitrary disruption and unilateral whip.

01:03Anwar also highlighted Malaysia's appreciation for China's steady and reliable approach during

01:08turbulent times. In these trying times, the world yearns for steadiness, reliability, and purpose.

01:19We see this in China's conduct. Malaysia acknowledges such steadiness with quiet recognition and is conscious

01:29not only of the calm it has brought, but of the hope it may continue to offer.
