Two years of leading Madani Govt, Anwar stays focused on agenda for country, says Fahmi

PUTRAJAYA (Nov 20): Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who will mark two years of leading the Madani Government on Nov 24, will continue the country’s agenda with a working visit to South Korea, said Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil.

Fahmi, who is also the government spokesperson, said the visit is important to ensure that the strategic cooperation between the two countries can be further strengthened.

“On Nov 24, the Prime Minister will travel to South Korea for an official visit aimed at enhancing bilateral trade and MoU exchange,” he told reporters after attending the Ministry of Communications’ monthly assembly here today.

Fahmi stated that, in addition to strengthening trade relations between Malaysia and South Korea, the Prime Minister will also witness the signing of several memoranda of understanding (MoUs) involving ministries and government agencies, including the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC).

Meanwhile, he said that in conjunction with the Two Years of Madani Government (2TM) Programme and the 2024 National Convention on Public Service Reform will be held at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre from Nov 22 to 24.

Fahmi said the Prime Minister himself is expected to officiate the 2TM programme organised by the Prime Minister’s Office through the Performance Acceleration Coordination Unit (PACU) in collaboration with the Malaysia Productivity Corporation (MPC) at 11 am on Nov 23.

Commenting on the Prime Minister’s recent visits to Peru and Brazil, he described them as highly significant trips.

“In Peru, the Prime Minister also received the country’s highest honour, the ‘El Sol del Peru’, which marks a high level of respect for Malaysia. This visit also opens up great opportunities for halal product trade in South America,” he said.

Fahmi said that the announcement of Malaysia’s cooperation with Brazil to address food security issues is also expected to create opportunities for local companies to engage in this strategic sector.

“However, we will await further details after the report of these visits is presented to the Cabinet this Friday,” he said. – Bernama
