BEIJING, Nov 18 (NNN-Bernama) — Malaysia aims to strengthen cooperation with China\u2019s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and Green Food Development Centre, said Deputy Prime Minister Fadillah Yusof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said the cooperation relates to the acceptance by both countries to the China Green Food Certification Scheme and the Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO) to encourage sustainable development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fadillah who is also Minister of Plantation and Commodities said this after attending a meeting with China\u2019s Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs Tang Renjian here on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The meeting with Tang concluded the third day of the deputy prime minister\u2019s official visit to Beijing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur meeting focused on efforts to increase trade and exports of palm oil and related products to China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBesides that, I expressed gratitude to China on its effort in supporting the cooperation between the Malaysian Palm Oil Certification Council and China Green Food Development Centre, and also the acceptance to the MSPO,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During his official visit to Beijing, Fadillah also held his third bilateral meeting with China\u2019s Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang and visited the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CAAS is an agricultural scientific research organisation for the agriculture sector, carrying out basic research and developing new technologies to address various challenges in advancing the agriculture sector and the rural economy in China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs a firm supporter of the Belt and Road Initiative, Malaysia is committed to (forging) regional relations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI also congratulated China and President Xi Jinping on the republic\u2019s success in hosting the Third Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation in Beijing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is also to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Malaysia-China diplomatic relations next year, whereby both parties have agreed to organise various programmes and activities,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2022, China imported 3.14 million tonnes of palm oil and related palm products from Malaysia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI hope China will continue to support the palm oil sector as well as increase its imports to 3.4 million tonnes or more in 2024,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
