On 4 May 2016, H.E. Mme. Yang Xiuping, Secretary-General of the ASEAN-China Centre (ACC) and H.E. Dato’ Zainuddin Bin Yahya, Malaysian Ambassador to China, met with Mr. Wang Bin, Deputy Director-General of Science and Technology Department of Gansu Province. Mr. Lu Xinglai, Deputy Director-General of Gansu Provincial Foreign Affairs Office, Zhao De'an, President of Northwest University for Nationalities, and representatives from the Sino-Malaysia National Joint Laboratory of Halal Food attended the meeting.
Mr. Wang Bin welcomed Secretary-General Yang Xiuping and Ambassador Dato’ Zainuddin to Lanzhou, saying that Gansu Province, located in Northwest of China, served as a strategic point on the Eurasian Land Bridge. Gansu and ASEAN were good friends and cooperative partners who extended mutual help and looked after each other’s concerns. ACC had played its bridging role in promoting cooperation between Gansu and ASEAN. Gansu was willing to further strengthen cooperation with ASEAN in the fields of trade, investment, education, culture, tourism, science and technological innovation. The Sino-Malaysia National Joint Laboratory of Halal Food was benefiting both countries. He proposed to step up communication and coordination to expand cooperation in analysis, testing, research and development, and personnel training of halal food.
Ambassador Zainuddin Bin Yahya expressed his gratitude to the Gansu Provincial Department of Science and Technology and the Provincial Foreign Affairs Office for its hospitality and suggested to deepen cooperation including halal food between Malaysia and China to achieve mutual benefit.
Secretary-General Yang Xiuping briefed on ACC’s mandate and work, noting that cooperation between local governments was an important part of China-ASEAN relations. ACC would join efforts with relevant authorities in Gansu and work closely to make new headway for Malaysia-China and ASEAN-China functional cooperation.
