On September 12, Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi exchanged greetings as "my brother" during their bilateral meeting at the 18th Bric Leaders' Summit in Hyderabad House, Malaysia's State Guest House. The summit serves as a platform for bilateral meetings, state banquets, and interactions with foreign dignitaries.
Malaysia, a Brics Partner Country since January 1, 2025, attended the summit led by Modi. This is Anwar's second visit to India, following his previous trip in August 2024.
The longstanding relationship between Malaysia and India, established in 1957, has been upgraded to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership during Anwar's first visit. India continues to be Malaysia's largest trading partner in the South Asian region, with total trade valued at RM79.49 billion in 2025. Key Malaysian exports include palm oil and palm oil-based agricultural products, as well as electrical and electronic products. Imports primarily consist of agricultural, petroleum, and chemical products.
