Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced that his Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry (MITI) will work towards broadening the scope of Malaysian goods entering the Indian market. This initiative came about during his meeting with his Indian counterpart, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in New Delhi. The two leaders discussed several ongoing restrictions preventing the seamless trade between the two nations, with Anwar pointing out the airline industry as one area in need of additional facilities.
The issue was also raised during Anwar's subsequent meeting with Keralam Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan. The Prime Minister emphasized India as a crucial economic partner for Malaysia, aiming to strengthen their trade and investment ties. Anwar highlighted the significance of widening market access for Malaysian goods in India, as this would benefit local industries and businesses.
Earlier, Anwar and Satheesan had deliberated on strategies to enhance economic cooperation and facilitate increased trade and investment between Malaysia and Keralam, the latter formerly known as Kerala. The discussions took place during Satheesan's courtesy call on Anwar in Calicut, an event that coincided with the Prime Minister's working visit to India and his first trip to Keralam as Prime Minister.
Anwar inaugurated his visit to New Delhi on Friday for the BRICS Leaders’ Summit hosted by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, where he delivered a National Statement on Shaping the Future for Inclusive Global Growth.
