I am indeed privileged to pen a few words for the World Chinese Economic Summit which is being held in Malaysia on the 9th and 10th of November, 2018.

It cannot be overstated of how important such a forum is at this juncture especially when global economy is being threatened by a trade war between two giant economies.

While we are all aware of the on-going trade war, we have yet to fully grasp the extent of its impact on trading nation like Malaysia. We do not yet know whether we would be able to withstand it or we can circumvent it and come out of it unscathed or our losses kept at its lowest.

While the forum is an initiative or a platform for the Chinese diaspora scattered all over the world to connect, it is their wide and extensive reach that would provide participants insights on how to survive in a hostile or non-conducive trade environment.

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome participants to this installment of World Chinese Economic Summit.

It is my fervent hope that participants exchanging views and sharing inputs will take the opportunity to promote a closer relationship and cooperation between China and ASEAN and China and the West.

I am sure participants are fully aware of the unending benefits that they can tap from a close collaboration between China and ASEAN and the West and the rest of the world.

Enhancing Partnerships and Shared Prosperity Through the BRI

Message from the Prime Minister

Tan Sri Lee Kim Yew and Tan Sri Michael Yeoh greeting the Malaysia Prime Minister, Tun Dr Mahatir Mohamad.

Tan Sri Michael Yeoh being introduced to President Xi Jin Ping by Tun Dr Mahatir Mohamad.

As for Malaysia, we always welcome investments from China. Commerce between Malaysia and China is a historical fact that was established hundreds of years ago.

Our relationship had always been based on trust, mutual respect and a win-win agenda. We are an open market economy and we promote business friendly policies.

China being the global trade power today has a lot to offer to Malaysia in terns of bilateral trade and proactively and this can be achieved through Chinese investments that provide training for local workers, transfer of technology and tapping on the local workers especially the skilled and professionals.

The opportunities and potential are endless and I hope this forum will, at the conclusion, propose initiatives and strategies that can be adopted in realizing the possibilities.

I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate the Co-Founders of the World Chinese Economic Summit, Tan Sri Lee Kim Yew and Tan Sri Michael Yeoh, for bringing the forum to Malaysia and ensuring its continuous success.

Thank you.

DR MAHATHIR BIN MOHAMAD8 NOVEMBER 2018

About The Forum

The World Chinese Economic Forum was founded by its Patron, Tan Sri Lee Kim Yew and Organising Chairman, Tan Sri Michael Yeoh 11 years ago in Kuala Lumpur. Since then, the Forum has been held in Chongqing, China, Hong Kong, London, Melbourne, Kuala Lumpur and Malacca in Malaysia.

This year the Forum is re-branded as the World Chinese Business and Economic Summit (WCBES) to refocus on the importance of business as a driver of sustainable economic growth and as builders of bridges across communities, nations and cultures. The partnership between Government, Business, Think Tanks and Scholars is a key priority for the WCBES which provides a meeting of minds for Entrepreneurs, Strategists and Government Officials.

The WCBES promotes entrepreneurship, smart partnerships, the digital economy,

connectivity and green growth. It also aims to connect the East and West and the Global Chinese Diaspora.

This year bringing the WCBES to Macau in conjunction with The World Summit of Chinese Entrepreneurs is apt and timely as Macau, Hong Kong and Guangdong has been designated as a Greater Bay Area, a megapolis consisting of 9 cities and 2 Special Administrative Region. The Greater Bay Area will provide more business and investment opportunities for entrepreneurs and investors.

2019 also marks the 20th Anniversary of the establishment of the Macau Special Administrative Region and the 70th Anniversary of the establishment of the People’s Republic of China. It is also the 45th Anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Malaysia and China.

Tan Sri Lee Kim Yew; Li Zhanshu, National People Congress Chairman; Tun Dr. Mahatir Mohamad, Prime Minister of Malaysia; Tan Sri Michael Yeoh and President, Xi JinPing.

The Sanya Public Diplomacy Institute as the first public diplomacy research institute by Chinese government registered is committed to build China South’s most influential diplomacy and international relations think-tank, serving the “Belt and Road” initiative development and promoting friendly exchanges among China, South China Sea countries and other countries.

KOLODKO, former Vice Prime Minister of Poland together serve as honorary presidents. Shen Guofang, former Chinese ambassador to the United Nations as president. Furthermore, there are nearly 100 former Chinese ambassadors and other senior diplomats as researchers of Sanya Public Diplomacy Institute.

With the continuous development of the economic globalization and the social informationization process, all over the world more and more closely depend on each other and even the interaction among people from all over the world increasingly frequent and in-depth. Therefore, the public diplomacy and cultural exchanges play an increasingly important role to enhance mutual understanding between different racial, cultural, religious and ethnic and improve and promote the international image of a country. Now, the world is entering the era of public diplomacy. On the one hand, public diplomacy has attracted international attention to become an important part of the national overall diplomacy as a necessary complement to the government diplomacy. On the other hand, governments also actively expand and participation of non-governmental diplomatic activities and continuously promote the understanding of other countries’ people to his country.

Under the support of the state, in recent years Hainan Province proposed a concept of foreign exchanges of “three bases, one demonstration zone” in order to build Sanya as a base of “summit and leisure diplomacies”.Depending on the “most beautiful state occasion” of 2008, Sanya first showed its talent on the “leisure diplomacy”. Over the years, Sanya’s excellent quality resources and environment get the recognition of many diplomats who attended Boao Forum for Asia and a series of foreign affairs activities held in Sanya.

In order to implement the diplomatic spirit and“Belt And Road”initiative of China’s major powers in the new era of Xi Jinping’s new era, the people with a number of years engaged in the relevant professional leadership positions and rich practical experience relying on senior diplomatic resources chose beautiful Sanya,as the establishment of the Sanya Public Diplomacy Institute.

In the view of the increasing international status, the activities of public diplomacy have been fully revealed and will soon be strengthened in Hainan, especially the Sanya where is in a special status of the field of international politics. Therefore, it is necessary to establish public diplomacy research institution in order to adapt to the rapid development of the situation, training of qualified personnel, and welcoming the great challenge for the comprehensive and effective service of oncoming rapid public diplomacy.

The Sanya Public Diplomatic Institute will carry out the following activities:

1. 1The high level seminar on the theory of public diplomacy and the “Belt and Road” and the “Twenty-First Century Maritime Silk Road” will be held in the future;

2. As a platform for academic exchange at domestic and abroad to build a practical stage of public diplomacy;
