Anwar, Prabowo discuss forest fires, West Asia conflict during Brics summit

NEW DELHI, Sept 13 — Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto discussed forest fires and West Asia conflict during their meeting on the sidelines of the 18th BRICS Leaders’ Summit. Anwar mentioned the meeting as an opportunity to talk about the ongoing forest fires in Indonesia and the situation in West Asia, both requiring consensus and joint action.

The discussion took place amidst a severe fire season in Indonesia, where smoke from fires in Kalimantan and Sumatra impacted neighboring countries like Malaysia. Anwar had previously spoken to Prabowo during the Summit’s Gala Dinner and invited him to visit Malaysia at the earliest to address several outstanding bilateral issues.

Anwar arrived in India on Friday for the summit, which ends today. He will proceed to Kerala, a state on the Malabar Coast in southern India, for a working visit, marking his second visit to India as Prime Minister. The Prime Minister is scheduled to leave for the Maldives tomorrow.
