China, Malaysia to strengthen air cargo cooperation between Zhengzhou and Kuala Lumpur

Henan Daily

Zhengzhou: On April 17, 2025, China and Malaysia issued a joint statement on building a high-level strategic China-Malaysia community with a shared future.

Article 21 of the statement emphasizes the commitment of both countries to comprehensive aviation cooperation, including enhanced civil aviation technical exchanges and closer air cargo collaboration between Kuala Lumpur International Airport and Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport. This initiative aims to realize the shared vision of a seamless “Air Silk Road” connecting China and ASEAN.

Malaysia remains China’s second-largest trading partner within ASEAN and its top source of imports. Strategically located at the heart of a high-growth, high-traffic region in ASEAN, Malaysia boasts a well-established air route network covering major global markets and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) area, offering favorable conditions for developing air cargo services.

To promote air logistics cooperation between Zhengzhou and Kuala Lumpur, Zhongyu Aviation Grouphas maintained close relationships with relevant Malaysian aviation enterprises with many visits.
