KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 23 — Two foreign nationals have become the first individuals in Malaysia to be charged in court for littering under the newly enforced anti-littering law, according to a report by The Star.
KUALA LUMPUR, May 22 — Chinese Premier Li Qiang is scheduled to attend the inaugural ASEAN-Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)-China Summit in Kuala Lumpur next week.
His visit comes at the invitation of Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who currently holds the rotating ASEAN chairmanship.
China’s Foreign Ministry announced that Li will be in Malaysia from May 26 to May 28.
The trilateral summit will take place on May 27, following the ASEAN Summit, which begins a day earlier. Both events will be hosted by Malaysia and aim to strengthen collaboration between ASEAN, the GCC, and China in various key areas.
“ASEAN and GCC countries are significant members of the emerging markets in Asia and the Global South,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said in Beijing, as quoted by Anadolu Ajansi (AA).
She added that the summit will also promote joint development through China’s Belt and Road Initiative.
Prior to his arrival in Kuala Lumpur, Premier Li will make a state visit to Indonesia from May 24 to May 26 at the invitation of President Prabowo Subianto, according to a statement on the Chinese Foreign Ministry’s website. — Bernama
