🚀 Belt & Road: More Than Just Roads
The Belt and Road Initiative took center stage, with speakers praising Malaysia’s East Coast Rail Link and smart-city projects. \"It’s not just infrastructure—it’s about connecting futures,\" said one panelist, sparking cheers for ASEAN’s digital economy boom.
🎭 Culture Collabs & Durian Diplomacy
Foodies, rejoice! The roundtable even sweetened the deal with talks of durian exports and co-produced films. 🇨🇳🤝🇲🇾 With over 1,200 Malaysian students now in China, youth-driven exchanges are fueling TikTok-worthy crossovers in music and art.
