It is necessary to give full play to the role of a dialogue platform on maritime issues, promote practical and in-depth cooperation, properly manage and handle differences, and jointly sing a new narrative of peace, stability, and win-win cooperation in the South China Sea.

Malaysia is willing to work with China to promote the implementation of consensus, including joint studies, and jointly maintain maritime peace and stability. Malaysia will actively promote key cooperation projects between Malaysia and China and deepen practical cooperation in various fields. Malaysia and China share the same ideas and similar positions on major international and regional issues, and should further intensify multilateral cooperation to jointly safeguard regional peace, stability, development and prosperity.
