Cementing four decades of diplomatic relations with a commitment to address regional security issues, the home ministry has made great strides forward in fostering strong collaborations with China.

To enhance the nations security, Malaysia will be working very closely with the Peoples Republic of China particularly on enforcement measures, home minister Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi stressed to Sunday Star.

The ministrys move is in line with what prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak had earlier described as the two countries joint vision to sustain the security that has allowed dynamic economic growth for both sides.

Speaking to Chinas newspaper, the Peoples Daily, during the 2014 Apec Economic Leaders Week in Beijing last month, the premier had referred to China as an important friend and partner - something Dr Ahmad Zahid, who led a delegation of senior officials on a six-day working visit to China recently, echoed. Dr Ahmad Zahid was in Beijing to meet with officials and the countrys State Councillor and Minister of Public Security Guo Shengkun.

He also visited security sites such as the Police Training Academy and the Ministry of Public Securitys research institution where research and development of technological security products are conducted.

Dr Ahmad Zahid also witnessed the signing of the minutes of the Second Malaysia-China Joint Working Group Meeting on Cooperation in Transnational Crime.
