BEIJING: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor arrived in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province this morning for his 5-day working visit to China.
They were welcomed by Vice Governor of Zhejiang Liang Liming and China's ambassador to Malaysia Dr Huang Huikang.
Najib, in his Facebook post, said Hangzhou, a city of over 50 million people has developed over the years into a modern, high tech center with an entrepreneurial society.
"Despite that, the city has also preserved her cultural identity and history in the likes of the respected Song Dynasty General Yue Fei. The famous West Lake also continues to be the star attraction for families and tourists."
Hangzhou today, he said, was a vibrant city with a diversified economy.
Najib will tour China e-commerce giant Alibaba Group's headquarters on the invitation of its founder Jack Ma, as well as witness the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding before departing for Beijing later today.
