Ambassadors applaud plenary's accomplishments

RajaDato' Nushirwan Zainal Abidin, Ambassador of Malaysia to China

Q: What role do you think the Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee will play in China's future development?

This is a very significant event in the evolution of China's history. I think it's the first time China has dedicated all its time to the issue of governance. Different countries have to settle on their own formal governance. The system which China has right now has clearly worked for the past 70 years, given the great economic and social progress China has experienced since 1949.

Q: Which one of the following issues impresses you the most: politics, ecological administration or economics?

It is the quality of governance which impressed me, in terms of how China has been very responsive to the aspirations of the people, as well as how China has been very clearly realizing many challenges, including ecological civilization. The Chinese government is very efficient and effective in coping with these major issues.

Q: The decision of the plenary session emphasized building an open world economy. In a world full of uncertainties, what do you think of China's commitment to that?

I think it is very important China continues to support multilateralism. It is very important we continue to work with countries like China as we continue to emphasize the importance of a global trading system. This is the only way for many other developing countries, including Malaysia and China, to continue our upward path of economic growth.
