China’s Defence Minister Wei Fenghe said that the friendship between both countries has a long history and has enjoyed healthy and stable development.

Mr Wei also said that China is committed on strengthening the defence cooperation between the two countries and advance military to military ties that will achieve results.

He also pointed out that the stability in the South China Sea is a shared responsibility between the two countries.

Former deputy defence minister Liew Chin Tong on Wednesday questioned Malaysian media on why this ‘important evet’ wasn’t covered and had to get the information from Chinese sources.

Mr Liew added that a crisis may happen in the South China Sea and it needs Malaysia’s voice on the matter and that the region does not want to choose between the two super powers. Xinhua reported on Monday that Malaysian Defence Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob also held a meeting with Mr Wei to discuss regional matters.
