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

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim met with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto during the 18th BRICS Leaders’ Summit, discussing the issue of forest fires and the conflict in West Asia. The two leaders had a chance to address the urgent matter of forest fires, which have been particularly severe in Indonesia, causing smoke to affect neighboring countries like Malaysia.

Prabowo expressed his willingness to visit Malaysia to resolve outstanding bilateral issues, following a renewed invitation from Anwar. Anwar arrived in India on September 13 to attend the BRICS summit, which is set to conclude today. After the summit, he will continue his working visit to Kerala, a state on the Malabar Coast in southern India.

This marks Anwar's second visit to India as Prime Minister, with his first occurring in August 2024. Following the summit, Anwar is scheduled to depart for the Maldives on September 14.
