Russia-Malaysia bilateral relations
Overview
During the 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim met to discuss strengthening bilateral relations. Putin expressed appreciation for the “friendly nature” of the ties between the two nations and noted that bilateral trade increased by 12.9 percent last year, a figure he described as “very encouraging.”
Discussions included an invitation for President Putin to conduct a state visit to Malaysia. Both leaders indicated that cooperation is expected to expand across various sectors, including education, science, technology, tourism, and security, as the two countries approach the 60th anniversary of their diplomatic relations next year.
