3.1 马来西亚社会文化背景概况在线视频

Hi Peter

I was wondering what role would Malaysia play

in the Belt and Road Initiative

It’s an important knot in the sea route

of Silk Road

Also

it is now working with China to explore cooperation opportunities

and jointly promote the positive development

of the BRI

What makes Malaysia an important knot

in the Belt and Road Initiative

Malaysia has multi-ethnic

multi-cultural

and multi-civilization backgrounds

It greatly facilitates the BRI into a cultural melting pot

How would Malaysia benefit from the BRI

Well if whatever in Malaysia

including private enterprise

government and

legitimacy

would turn to the world stage

I am pretty sure this would allow Malaysia's

economy to leap to another height

and take the lead in ASEAN

That makes sense

Okay
