Li told Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak China was willing to "actively participate" in the Singapore-Malaysia high-speed rail, the official Xinhua news agency reported. It did not provide details.

Singapore and Malaysia said in February last year that they planned to build a high-speed rail link by 2020 that would cut travel time between the city-state and Kuala Lumpur to 90 minutes, without giving a cost estimate.
In a separate Monday meeting with Chile's President Michelle Bachelet, Li said China was keen to take part in Chile's rail, ports and utility projects and also to widen its involvement in South American construction projects, Xinhua said.

Li also met with Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott and told him China would support its firms in investing in Australia's railway and airport projects to promote regional economic cooperation, according to China's foreign ministry.
