China's Xi Jinping may visit Malaysia, says UOB Kay Hian

Hot on the heels of the “Belt & Road” (OBOR) summit currently taking place in China, UOB Kay Hian, in a research report this morning, said there could be a possibility that China’s Premier Xi Jinping be visiting Malaysia by August this year.

If this happens, it could bring about a serious interest in pushing forward for greater bilateral trade engagements between the two nations.

Already, the OBOR conference is expected to lift interests in some of the 14 Malaysia-Sino agreements worth about RM 144 billion.

Xi’s possible visit to Kuala Lumpur could cement the ties between the two nations even further.
