BEIJING, Nov 1 — Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s third official visit to China is not only historical from the business perspective as it consolidates bilateral ties, but also resulted in a landmark decision on defence.

The Prime Minister said in terms of successes on trade agreements, Malaysian and Chinese companies made historic achievements with the signing of 14 agreements worth RM144 billion.

In breaking new ground, the Malaysian government also made a landmark decision to buy four Littoral Mission Ships (LMS) from China, with two to be built in China and the other two in Malaysia, Najib told a press conference with the Malaysian media here today. — Bernama
