Anwar to deepen Malaysia-India ties during Keralam visit
KOZHIKODE: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is scheduled to attend a private programme at Tulah Clinical Wellness here today as part of his working visit to Keralam, the official name used for the Indian state formerly known as Kerala.
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim is set to visit Keralam, the Indian state formerly known as Kerala, as part of his working visit to the region. During his stay, Anwar will participate in a private programme at Tulah Clinical Wellness and meet with Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar. The discussions will center on enhancing ties between Malaysia and Keralam, with a focus on boosting trade, investment, tourism, healthcare, and educational cooperation.
Additionally, Anwar will engage in one-on-one meetings with prominent Indian corporate leaders to identify potential trade, investment, and business opportunities in high-growth sectors. These meetings are part of Anwar's broader economic diplomacy in India, following the 18th BRICS Leaders Summit in New Delhi and his meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The visit aims to strengthen the Malaysia-India Comprehensive Strategic Partnership by promoting business-to-business and sub-national links, and by opening new commercial avenues in one of India's key economic states. Following his stay in Keralam, Anwar will travel to the Maldives for the next leg of his regional diplomatic visit.
In Malé, he will receive an official welcoming ceremony, attend a meeting with Maldivian President Mohamed Muizzu, and witness the signing of memorandums of understanding between Malaysia and the Maldives. Anwar's Maldives visit is expected to further bolster bilateral ties and advance cooperation in areas of mutual interest, as Malaysia continues to engage in the Indian Ocean region.
