Prime Minister Tarique Rahman arrived in Beijing from Dalian on June 24, 2026, at 5:35 p.m. local time. He was received at the Chaoming Railway Station with a red carpet welcome and a guard of honor. His wife, Dr. Zubaida Rahman, accompanied him on the visit. From the station, the Prime Minister was escorted by a special motorcade to the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, where he and his delegation will stay during their time in Beijing.

Earlier in the day, Rahman departed from Dalian North Railway Station at 1:58 p.m. aboard a high-speed train. His delegation includes the foreign minister, the state minister for power, energy and mineral resources, and several advisers and press officials. Before traveling to Beijing, he attended the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting of the New Champions, also known as the Summer Davos, held at the Dalian International Conference Center.

This marks Rahman’s first overseas visit to Malaysia and China since assuming office as head of government on February 17, following his party’s landslide victory in the 13th national parliamentary election.
