BEIJING, May 5 (Xinhua) -- China's top political advisor Yu Zhengsheng met with Malaysian Senate President Abu Zahar in Beijing on Wednesday, vowing to boost the partnership between the two countries.

Yu, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), said the meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, on the sidelines of the 2015 Boao Forum for Asia in South China's Hainan Province in March, marked a good start for bilateral ties this year.

Calling China-Malaysia ties the best in history, Yu proposed maintaining high-level contacts, enhancing strategic trust, boosting cultural exchanges and cooperation in infrastructure.

The CPPCC highly values its relations with the Malaysian Senate, Yu said, pledging to enhance personnel exchanges and share experience in governance.

Abu Zahar said Malaysia expects to further cement win-win cooperation and people-to-people exchanges with China, in a bid to upgrade their all-round strategic partnership.
