I am embarking on an Official Visit to Malaysia at the invitation of my friend, Prime Minister Anwar
Ibrahim today.
The historic ties between India and Malaysia have seen steadfast progress in recent years. I look forward
to my discussions with Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, and further enhancing our Comprehensive
Strategic Partnership. We will aim to deepen our defence and security ties, enhance our economic and
innovation partnership, and expand our collaboration into new domains.
I am also eager to meet the Indian community in Malaysia. Numbering nearly three million, they represent
one of the largest Indian diasporas in the world. Their immense contribution to Malaysia’s progress and
their role as a living bridge between our two nations provides a strong foundation to our historic
friendship.
