Anwar Hails Success Of Brazil Visit In Boosting Ties, Expanding Strategic Cooperation

KUALA LUMPUR, July 8 (Bernama) -- Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has described his visit to Rio de Janeiro to attend the 17th BRICS Leaders’ Summit as a significant success in strengthening bilateral ties and expanding Malaysia’s network of strategic cooperation at the global level.

In a Facebook post after completing the official duties of the Malaysian delegation in the country, the Prime Minister said the visit had achieved its main objectives, including strengthening bilateral relations not only with Brazil but also with other BRICS member countries.

“Malaysia's name continues to be on the lips of international investors as a result of the unwavering commitment of the entire MADANI Government team in attracting high-quality investments that can drive growth and generate benefits for the people.

“Let us not be distracted by dissenting voices that attempt to belittle these efforts. Our journey is far from over, and we will continue to forge ahead with determination and commitment to bring real change to the country and future generations,” said Anwar.

The Prime Minister also expressed his appreciation to all parties who contributed to the success of the mission, including ministry officers and agencies, the Malaysian Embassy in Brazil, the security team, and members of the media for their dedication and strong commitment.

“We continue moving forward for a Malaysia that is more respected, stable and prosperous. Obrigado, Brasil. Até nos encontrarmos novamente (Thank you, Brazil. Until we meet again),” he said.

Anwar departed for home on Monday after a three-nation tour which had earlier taken him to Italy and France.

The chartered Malaysia Airlines flight carrying the Prime Minister and Malaysian delegation departed from Galeão Air Base at 1 pm local time (midnight Monday Malaysian time).
