00:00It is truly an honor for me to attend today's Joining Hands for Shared Prosperity,
00:17a China-Malaysia Cultural Exchange event.
00:22President Xi Jinping is visiting Malaysia again today,
00:27marking his return to this land of friendship after 12 years since his last visit in 2013.
00:36Like many of you, I eagerly look forward to his visit.
00:40This is not only a significant milestone in high-level exchanges between our two nations,
00:47but also a powerful symbol of the deepening friendship between Malaysia and China.
00:54This visit holds great significance in enhancing cultural and creative industry cooperation between China and ASEAN.
01:04From the perspective of film production, we hope this visit will inspire more Chinese producers to choose Malaysia as a filming destination,
01:15making full use of our diverse natural landscapes, competitive production costs, and rich cultural heritage.
01:24Like Mr. Shen mentioned in his speech just now, Nezai is doing great in the whole world, growing very well in China of course.
01:35But outside China, Malaysia records the highest gross box office.
01:41And I believe that in the near future, with the assistance and blessing from Mr. Shen,
01:46we will also be able to introduce more Malaysian firms to the audience in China.
01:54I am very much looking forward to deeper cooperation between the firm industry between two nations.
02:02Through in-depth cooperation across various sectors, including firm, talent development, and media,
02:10we are confident in our ability to drive more co-productions and joint ventures that bring mutual benefits and shared success.
02:20We believe that Presidency's visit to Malaysia will open new doors for collaboration in content co-creation,
02:29technical exchange, and talent development.
02:32This effort will not only deepen mutual understanding and friendship between our peoples,
02:40but also help share richer, more diverse, multi-dimensional, and authentic China-Malaysia stories with the world.
02:50In closing, I wish this event very every success,
02:55and may our guests experience the unique cultural charm of China and Malaysia.
03:01Thank you very much.
