china: He was given a red carpet welcome Tuesday by his Chinese counterpart, Li Keqiang, according to The Japan Times. After meeting at the Great Hall of the People, they oversaw the signing of agreements, including a memorandum of understanding on defense cooperation. Prime Minister Najib Razak hopes to use his visit to Beijing this week to woo new investment and boost his image as he is shunned by Western leaders over the scandal, which has prompted a U.S. government investigation, analysts say. We have not touched upon the details of our cooperation. As China and Malaysia are both South China Sea coastal nations, we need to enhance our naval cooperation to ensure peace and stability in the South China Sea and enhance our mutual trust, he said. Mostly we are focusing on naval cooperation, Vice Foreign Minister Liu Zhenmin told reporters afterward.
