Wen Guixin is a businessman from Malaysia. Having conducted foreign trade in Yunnan for eleven years, he now considers this business-friendly land as his second home.

"Yunnan shares borders with many countries, which is an unparalleled advantage," Wen said. Over the past eleven years, he has witnessed the rapid development in Yunnan. With the implementation of the Belt and Road initiative in particular, Yunnan has opened its doors wider and sped up its development, which brings new opportunities for China's cooperation with South and Southeast Asian countries," Wen added.

In recent years, as a growing number of Malaysian business people begin to invest in Yunnan, Wen has further expanded his business. He believes that the Belt and Road will tighten China's links with South and Southeast Asia.
