00:00Before watching the video, I would like to remind you that there is more content on the Hotpot website.
00:30After having breakfast together, the two of them chatted and had a good time.
00:33After about an hour of conversation,
00:35Huang Xuncai hurried to the Prime Minister's office in Bucheng
00:39to attend the banquet prepared by Prime Minister Anhua.
00:41When Huang Xuncai was enjoying the singer's performance at the banquet,
00:45he also played his specialty guitar accompaniment on stage
00:49to show his musical talent.
00:51However, the focus of the media is
00:54whether Anhua and Huang Xuncai
00:57will have a chance to restart the Longxing High-Speed Rail,
01:01which was announced to be shut down in 2021.
01:04The answer is already written on today's New Week's cover.
01:07The high-speed rail project will be suspended for 1 to 2 years.
01:11Anhua said that the government will first solve the people's livelihood problem in the next 1 to 2 years,
01:15and put the focus on solving the priority issues such as basic infrastructure, education and poverty alleviation.
01:21As for when it will be possible to restart,
01:24Anhua said that when the private sector is willing to invest,
01:27it will be able to restart the Longxing High-Speed Rail.
01:30Huang Xuncai also maintained an open attitude and said
01:33that although there is no way to follow the original plan,
01:36Singapore is willing to restart and listen to the new proposal of Malaysia.
01:41Today's highlight is
01:44the official agreement of the New Malaysia leaders' non-official summit
01:47to witness the two countries' exchange of the Roxin Economic Zone.
01:52Anhua talked about the Roxin Economic Zone later in the press conference.
01:56He used the word unique to describe this zone.
01:59Because the development cooperation teams formed by the two countries are very rare,
02:03it will be possible to attract investment and create more business opportunities
02:07through clear political stability and economic policies in the future.
02:10Singapore Prime Minister Huang Xuncai believes that
02:12the greater potential of the Roxin Economic Zone
02:15lies not only in the establishment of Rofo in Singapore,
02:17but also in the joint cooperation between the two sides to attract global funds.
02:21Huang Xuncai said that they have been in contact with many companies.
02:24The two sides hope to combine their operations in Singapore
02:28and carry out more business in Rofo.
02:31With the signing of the Roxin Economic Zone agreement by the Malaysian government,
02:35the two countries will then begin to draw up a map of the economic zone.
02:39The former Minister of Economy, Rafiz, once said that
02:41the Roxin Economic Zone has set a goal for the next five years.
02:45It is expected to attract 50 investment projects
02:48and create 20,000 job opportunities.
02:51Rafiz said that in fact, the Rofo Roxin Economic Zone aims
02:55not only at Singapore's investors, but also at global investors.
02:59Let them see this as the destination of investment
03:02and introduce advanced electronic and electrical technology.
03:06Since it is to attract global funds,
03:09who will be interested?
03:11It is not difficult to guess.
03:12The Joint Morning Post quoted an economist
03:14as saying that Chinese companies are aiming to expand business in this area.
03:18They hope to use Singapore's plus one strategy
03:21to take advantage of the advantages of the two different areas
03:24to better plan for business.
03:26Before that, Chinese companies are already the largest investors in Rofo,
03:30especially companies engaged in semiconductor materials,
03:33special chemicals, and electrical and electronic business.
03:36They hope to reduce their costs from it and disperse risks.
