India and Malaysia seek to expand economic and defence ties
INDIA and Malaysia will seek to expand economic ties and strengthen co-operation on defence and security, the leaders of the two countries said on Tuesday.
This came during Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s visit to India, his first since he took office in 2022, where he met with his far-right-wing Indian counterpart Narendra Modi.
Recently, Mr Anwar has sought to move closer to China, with whom New Delhi has been locked in a long-running border dispute.
