Kerala, September 15 — Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has advocated for enhanced collaboration between Malaysia and Kerala across vital areas, such as digital economy, healthcare, tourism, and education. He highlighted the existing ties, which encompass trade, education, and cultural exchanges, as a robust foundation for deeper cooperation.
During a meeting with Kerala Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar in Calicut, Anwar also emphasized the potential to broaden tourism, business, and people-to-people exchanges between the two nations. "Malaysia is keen to foster greater cooperation in high-value sectors that can generate new opportunities and benefit both parties," he stated.
As Finance Minister, Anwar is joined on the visit by Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani and Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri R. Ramanan. Arlekar reciprocated by gifting Anwar a biography of the renowned Indian playback singer Kishore Kumar, following the Prime Minister's recent viral rendition of Kishore Kumar's song at the BRICS gala dinner in New Delhi.
Anwar's performance of "Khwab Ho Tum Ya Koi Haqeeqat" on social media garnered widespread positive feedback from Indians. The meeting also saw participation from Industries and Commerce Minister P.K Kunhalikutty and several industry leaders. The Governor's visit is part of Anwar's itinerary during his official trip to India from September 11 to 14, hosted by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
