India and Malaysia share deep historical and socio-cultural ties. In 2015, the relationship was upgraded to an Enhanced Strategic Partnership during Prime Minister Modi’s visit to Malaysia. As both nations approach the second decade of this partnership, Anwar Ibrahim’s visit aims to further strengthen India-Malaysia relations. The focus will be on outlining a multi-sectoral cooperation agenda for future collaboration.
Earlier this year, Malaysia’s Plantations and Commodities Minister Johari Abdul Ghani visited India from July 16-19. During his trip, he met Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan to explore ways to enhance agricultural cooperation between the two countries.
