During an exclusive interview with China Media Group on Monday, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim praised Chinese President Xi Jinping’s unique perspective on economic development. He highlighted how Xi emphasized cultural exchange and mutual learning among civilizations, advocating for a model of progress that goes beyond mere material accumulation.
The prime minister connected this vision with the principles of Malaysia Madani—a framework that champions values, humanitarianism, and a truly global perspective. Reflecting on the approach, he remarked, "Only great leaders and thinkers can have such foresight and not just see the simple material needs," underlining the importance of balanced progress and shared prosperity.
This dialogue resonates with young global citizens, tech innovators, and changemakers who are reimagining economic models for a sustainable future. In a world where cultural and economic exchanges are more intertwined than ever, the message calls on emerging markets and future leaders to embrace a holistic approach to development.
