During Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to Malaysia in April, a historic milestone was reached as China and Malaysia signed 31 memoranda of understanding! These agreements cover key sectors including security, digital technology, transport, trade, media, and even visa exemptions. Both sides are celebrating what they call a "new golden era" of bilateral ties, with a keen focus on future-ready industries.
One of the most exciting developments is the push for digital transformation. Zhejiang University in the Chinese mainland and the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) have signed a Letter of Intent to collaborate on digital projects, including enhancements to the AI ecosystem and the development of smart cities. Their collaboration is based on the renowned "Zhejiang Model," a digital governance framework that is setting a new standard for innovation.
For tech enthusiasts, young entrepreneurs, and digital news fans, this partnership signals a major leap forward. In an exclusive discussion with CGTN, MDEC CEO Anuar Fariz Fadzil explained that the decision to leverage the "Zhejiang Model" represents a strategic move to propel digital innovation in Malaysia.
Stay tuned as these groundbreaking initiatives pave the way for a future where innovative digital solutions meet smart, sustainable urban living. It’s a tech-packed journey you won’t want to miss! 🚀🤖
