Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has praised China’s commitment to fostering global cultural understanding and cooperation, calling it a key driver for peace and development in a recent interview.
In a chat with China Media Group, Anwar highlighted the importance of mutual respect and shared values, aligning with Chinese President Xi Jinping’s vision of a “community with a shared future for mankind.” He emphasized that embracing cultural diversity isn’t just a feel-good hashtag—it’s vital for humanity’s survival and progress.
“President Xi’s focus on dialogue over division sets a blueprint for how nations can collaborate on trade, security, and economic growth,” Anwar said, adding that China’s efforts are helping bridge East-West divides.
This endorsement comes as Southeast Asian nations increasingly partner with China on infrastructure and tech projects—proving that cultural empathy can translate into real-world wins.
