Malaysian Prime Minister Dato’ Seri Anwar bin Ibrahim to pay first State Visit to India tomorrow
Malaysian Prime Minister Dato’ Seri Anwar bin Ibrahim will pay a State Visit to India on 19-21 August 2024 at the invitation of his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi.
"This would be the first visit of H.E. Anwar Ibrahim as the Prime Minister of Malaysia," read a statement issued by the Ministry of External Affairs.
On 20 August, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim will receive a ceremonial welcome at the Forecourt of Rashtrapati Bhavan and will visit Raj Ghat to pay tribute to Mahatma Gandhi, after which he will hold bilateral discussions with Prime Minister Modi, who will also host a luncheon in his honour.
"Later in the day, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim is scheduled to call on the President of India Smt. Droupadi Murmu. External Affairs Minister, Dr. S. Jaishankar would also call on Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim during his visit," the MEA statement said.
India and Malaysia have strong historical and socio-cultural linkages. Our bilateral relationship was elevated to the status of Enhanced Strategic Partnership in 2015 during the visit of Prime Minister Modi.
As both countries enter the second decade of Enhanced Strategic Partnership next year, the visit of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim would pave way for further strengthening of India-Malaysia bilateral ties by charting out a multi-sectoral cooperation agenda for the future.
