Last year, ASEAN and China celebrated the 10th anniversary of strategic partnership. many bold proposals were laid out to strengthen ASEAN-China relations.

"Malaysia is encouraged with the strong commitment to ASEAN shown by the new Chinese administration and is supportive of many of the proposals. In this regard, Malaysia looks forward to closer ASEAN-China relations," he said.

"Malaysia becomes chair of ASEAN in 2015 the same year ASEAN is set to become an ASEAN Community. In this regard, China has played a pivotal role in ASEAN's connectivity as well as efforts in narrowing the development gap in the region.

"ASEAN appreciates China's sincere efforts in this endeavor and hopes China will continue to be supportive of ASEAN," Najib said.
