Kuala Lumpur, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and China’s Premier Li Qiang attended the groundbreaking ceremony for the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) Gombak Integrated Terminal station, marking the 50th anniversary of diplomatic ties between Malaysia and China.

Premier Li emphasized the strong relationship between the two nations, highlighting the new blueprint for China-Malaysia relations developed by Prime Minister Anwar and Chinese President Xi Jinping. “Standing at a new historical starting point, China-Malaysia friendship is like this continuous railway track, spanning mountains and seas, with a promising future,” he said. He encouraged both nations to seize opportunities and expand cooperation in various sectors, including policy communication, trade, financial integration, and cultural exchanges.

The ECRL, set for completion by the end of 2026, will traverse Kelantan, Terengganu, Pahang, and Selangor, significantly enhancing Malaysia’s transportation network. The 20-station line is expected to boost connectivity and stimulate economic growth across the region.

Premier Li’s visit to Malaysia, his first since taking office in March 2023, reaffirmed the strong bilateral relationship between Kuala Lumpur and Beijing, promising continued cooperation and mutual development.

The ceremony ended with optimism for the future, as both nations looked forward to the completion of the ECRL and the numerous benefits it will bring.

YBHG. Dato’ Ruslin bin Jusoh, Director General of Immigration Malaysia, graced our ECRL Kuantan site with his esteemed delegation, embarking on a journey of discovery and insight into our ongoing projects. Their visit was marked by a meaningful schedule: a comprehensive project site briefing at section 10, a visit to the Control and Reporting Centre of Communications (CROCC) with a detailed presentation by Mr. Wu LiZhu, the dedicated General Manager of Section 10 from CCC.

The delegation’s experience was further enriched by a short, but thrilling ride on a track rail car, where they had a firsthand encounter with the completed railway infrastructure at Kuantan Port City. To cap off their visit, they explored the intricate construction work at the Kuantan Tunnel, witnessing the dedication and expertise that go into shaping the landscape of modern transportation infrastructure. We extend our heartfelt appreciation to the Immigration Department of Malaysia for taking the time to engage with our projects, as their insights and observations are invaluable contributions to our ongoing journey of development and progress. Thank you for your visit, and here’s to continued collaboration and growth in our shared pursuits.
