History
During a meeting between Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and then Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao in 2011, Mr Najib suggested China to open a full time university in Malaysia. Najib and his Chinese counterpart Li Keqiang then continued to discuss the matter over several meetings.[2] China eventually picked Xiamen University to fulfill this proposal.[3] Malaysian government believes that such school can enhance the tie of both countries into the new level. Chinese government believes that such school can increase its influence on Southeast Asia. [4] [5] Najib and Chinese Ambassador to Malaysia Huang huikang all visited this campus during its construction.[6]
Muzambli Markam, Consul General of Malaysia in Guangzhou, also visited the campus after it opened.[7]
