00:00On behalf of the Organising Committee, it is my honour to welcome you to the 5th World
00:06Association Presidents' Conference, WAPC, hosted for the first time in Malaysia and
00:13outside of China. This is a momentous occasion, and Kuala Lumpur serves as a perfect gateway
00:21for building lasting partnerships between Chinese investors and Malaysian businesses.
00:28This session will not only highlight Malaysia's economy potential, but also foster deeper
00:35dialogue on how Malaysia and China can complement each other in the global market.
00:41As one of Malaysia's founding political parties, MCA has consistently worked to enhance trade,
00:47cultural exchange and peoples-to-peoples ties with China. From spearheading diplomatic
00:53initiatives to supporting business collaborations, MCA has been a bridge between our two nations.
01:00The hosting of this conference at Wisma MCA, a historic institution that embodies the spirit
01:08of partnership, is a fitting tribute to this legacy.
01:13Ladies and gentlemen, the 5th WAPC is more than just a platform for discussion. It is
01:21a catalyst for action. Through business matching sessions, closed-door roundtables and high-level
01:28forums, we aim to achieve tangible outcomes, including the formation of strategic partnerships
01:35between Malaysian and Chinese businesses, the creation of innovative solutions to address
01:40regional and global challenges, a renewed commitment to strengthening Malaysia-China
01:45relations for the next 50 years.
