Kuala Lumpur – Malaysia is one of the Southeast Asia nations which has a deep relationship with China.

It is well known as a destination or stopping-over for Chinese migrants and explorers since ancient times.

Zheng He, a glorious Ming(1388-1644) dynasty explorer in Chinese history made five stays at Malacca, a famous city of Malaysia, in his seven trips to the Indian Ocean and beyond.

With the great idea of “Silk Road economic belt and one road ”, the China-Malaysia cooperation will be more vigorous on the development of the 21st century maritime Silk Road.
