RIO DE JANEIRO, July 6 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is scheduled to meet his counterparts from India and Ethiopia.
The meetings will take place on the sidelines of the BRICS Leaders’ Summit on Sunday (Monday in Malaysia).
Anwar, who arrived on Saturday, will meet Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Museum of Modern Art, after delivering his National Statement at the summit.
Both leaders met during the 21st Asean-India Summit in Laos last year.
He will then meet his Ethiopian counterpart Abiy Ahmed Ali.
The Prime Minister will be accompanied by Transport Minister Anthony Loke and Investment, Trade, and Industry Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz at the meetings.
It will be a busy day for Anwar as he begins his second day in the second-largest city in Brazil with a meeting with Embraer president and chief executive officer Francisco Gomes Neto.
Headquartered in Brazil, Embraer is a leading aircraft manufacturer and participated in the Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition 2025 (LIMA 2025) in Langkawi last May.
Anwar will also receive a courtesy call from the New Development Bank's President Dilma Rousseff.
Malaysia’s participation in the summit is in its capacity as a BRICS partner country and as the chair of Asean 2025.
Malaysia officially became a BRICS partner country on January 1 this year.
