PRIME Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's official visit to Bahrain, starting tonight, marks a new chapter in the 50-year diplomatic relationship between Malaysia and Bahrain.
The visit, at the invitation of Bahrain's Crown Prince and Prime Minister Salman Hamad Al Khalifa, is an important milestone in strengthening bilateral ties.
Bernama reported, “This historic visit is highly significant as it reflects the close ties between Malaysia and Bahrain, which have now reached the 50-year milestone.
“It will also serve as a strategic platform for the Prime Minister to present Malaysia’s foreign policy, particularly its stance on regional and global issues, while reinforcing Malaysia’s ASEAN Chairmanship and completing a series of official visits to West Asian nations,” he told a press conference here.
Shazryll said during the visit, Anwar is scheduled to hold a courtesy meeting with his Bahraini counterpart to discuss the progress of Malaysia-Bahrain relations, with a focus on strengthening and expanding cooperation in key sectors of mutual interest.
He will also meet with Bahrain’s King Hamad Isa Al Khalifa and deliver a speech at the Intra-Islamic Dialogue Conference, as well as meet with the Malaysian diaspora in Bahrain. – February 18, 2025
