Malaysia’s Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s visit to India is long overdue and timely, in elevating a new way forward of a strengthened Kuala Lumpur-New Delhi ties, which forms one of the most strategic and critical bilateral relationships in the region for both economic and geopolitical domains.
Anwar’s three-day visit is also a chance to reset Malaysia’s relations with India, following a hangover from a spat with New Delhi previously. There has not been a visit by a Prime Minister to India for the last six years, and this is a critical and strategic time for Malaysia to reset and enhance its vital ties with New Delhi.
It reaffirms the commitment to elevate and reset the ties based on mutual trust and understanding and the steadfast shared values of democracy and rule of law in a values-driven approach.
Areas of joint interoperability and cooperation to tackle other non-traditional maritime and transboundary threats will provide a positive chain impact on both players’ readiness and mutual trust.
Both Kuala Lumpur and Delhi remain strategically interlinked in security assurances and positive returns.
