  "account": "Malaysia's Sultan Ibrahim has bestowed the prestigious Darjah Utama Seri Mahkota Negara (DMN) award upon Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, who is presently in the country on a two-day state visit. The distinguished award was presented to the Egyptian leader at a special ceremony held at Istana Negara, preceding a state banquet in his honor. The ceremony took place prior to the Egyptian president's arrival at an earlier state welcoming event at the Istana Negara parade square. El-Sisi's visit marks the first by an Egyptian president to Malaysia in almost three decades, following the previous visit by ex-President Mohamed Hosni Mubarak in November 1997 for the G-15 Summit. The two nations established diplomatic relations in 1959.",
