Staff Reporter
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will pay an official visit to Malaysia from 7th to 8th February at the invitation of the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Anwar Ibrahim. This would be the third visit of Prime Minister Modi to Malaysia, and the first after the elevation of India-Malaysia bilateral relationship to a ‘Comprehensive Strategic Partnership’ in August 2024.
The External Affairs Ministry said that during the visit, the Prime Minister will hold bilateral discussions with his Malaysian counterpart. Prime Minister Modi will also interact with members of the Indian community, as well as industry and business representatives. The 10th India-Malaysia CEO Forum is also scheduled to be held coinciding with the visit of the Prime Minister.
Our correspondent reports that India and Malaysia share long-standing bonds of friendship, based on historical, civilisational and cultural connections. The relationship is further strengthened by the presence of a 2.9 million-strong Indian diaspora in Malaysia, the third largest in the world.
The India-Malaysia relationship is multi-faceted and growing. The forthcoming visit will serve as an opportunity for both leaders to review the entire gamut of bilateral cooperation. These include trade and investment, defence, security and maritime cooperation, digital and financial technology, energy, healthcare, education, and culture.
