Malaysia and the Maldives are set to bolster their collaboration in maritime security, training, halal, wakaf, and Haj upon exchanging two memoranda of understanding (MoUs) on defence and Islamic affairs. Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim highlighted the Maldives' significance as a maritime nation, prioritising cooperation in security, training, and maritime safety.
Anwar also noted the potential for deeper cooperation in Islamic affairs, such as halal, dakwah, Muslim affairs, waqf, and Haj, given the Maldives' status as an Islamic country. The MoUs were signed at the President's Office, with subsequent joint press conference by Anwar, Maldives President Dr Mohamed Muizzu, and other officials.
The agreements aim to open new avenues for practical cooperation and strengthen the institutional foundations of Malaysia-Maldives bilateral relations, according to Muizzu.
