A team of the seventh China International Import Expo (CIIE) held a promotion event in Kuala Lumpur on Monday, attracting more than 200 enterprises and institutions from China and Malaysia.

"The CIIE provides our entrepreneurs with access to participate in China's economy and to export to China. Meanwhile, it also allows our entrepreneurs to have very practical experience collaborating with China, which is substantial to both Malaysian and Chinese enterprises."

Chinese Ambassador to Malaysia Ouyang Yujing spoke highly of bilateral economic and trade relations, noting that China has been the largest trading partner of Malaysia for 15 consecutive years. He hopes that Malaysian enterprises will make full use of the CIIE for deepening friendship and cooperation with China.
