The minister of science, technology and innovation of malaysia, zheng liang, has recently visited china, and he has visited china on several occasions, and he continues to describe the trip with “open-mindedness”. In an interview with xinhua's journalist, zheng li zheng said: “i hope to use china's technology in chinaDevelopmentExperience in promoting the better benefits of science and technology in malaysia.”
A short time ago, zheng liang led a mission to xiamen and sengchuan in china and attended the sixth china-ma business dialogue. From the south-east coast to the north-west interior, different development scenarios are intertwined, giving him a more intuitive sense of china's scientific and technological development and applications。
"i thought ningxia would be desolate, but what i actually saw was another picture." zheng li zheng said that the locals did not simply pursue high-rise forests, but rather developed modern agriculture, coal-chemicals and wine industries based on their own resources. He was impressed by this “local, snobby” development model. “every place has its own path to development, which i am inspired by.”
Zheng liang referred in particular to drone technology that was examined during the trip. He said: “the use of drones in modern agriculture, etc., is already in use in malaysia, but not in many areas. In terms of logistics transport, for example, and manual weather, i very much hope that we can apply it as soon as possible. In this respect, malaysia and china have a lotCooperationSpace."
The year 2026 marked the beginning of china's “fifty-fifty five” programme and the beginning of malaysia's thirteenth great horse plan. Zheng liang indicated that malaysia's future focus on advanced materials, hydrogen energy, biotechnologies and space science and technology is highly compatible with china's niche industries, and he saw a broader space for cooperation between the two countries in the future。
“the focus of the 13th horse plan is on how to transform scientific and technological achievements.” zheng liang stated that one of the serious problems facing malaysia today is the lack of industrialization of many good scientific products, “it is a great pain for us”. In his view, china had been at the forefront of science and technology, especially in terms of landing scientific research as a civilian product, “where we aspire to cooperate and learn”。
In addition to the interface between technology and industry, zheng liang looks to talent development. “our ultimate goal is to move from a technology-using country to a technology-exporting country, where talent is the most important `money'.” he hoped to further strengthen exchanges and cooperation between universities, governments and enterprises in the fields of artificial intelligence, biotechnologies and advanced materials。
Referring to investment cooperation, zheng liang said that malaysia welcomed chinese enterprises to the ma and to the capital, and looked forward to the landing of its own firms in china. He said that while there were differences between the two countries' stages of development, there was considerable complementarity and scope for cooperation, and that malaysia had a high degree of cultural, linguistic and life habits convergence with china. “the development of chinese enterprises in malaysia was often able to achieve smooth connectivity, which provided a good basis for investment cooperation”。
Faced with the complex challenges of the international environment and scientific and technological autonomy, zheng liang indicated that malaysia had gained confidence and lessons from chinese practice. He said that, in the face of some “crawling” situations, china actively promoted scientific innovation and encouraged autonomous research and development to address these challenges and achieve tangible results, “it is very worth learning”.
