During the tele-conversation, the Turkiye President reiterated his commitment in strengthening cooperation in defence, economy, culture, trade and investment between both countries while Anwar once again forwarded an invitation for Erdogan to visit Malaysia in the month of July or August.
The Prime Minister assured that the visit would be a meaningful one since it will coincide with the 60th anniversary of Diplomatic Relations between Malaysia and Turkiye (Since June 17, 1964), as well as mark the 10th year of Strategic Cooperation between both countries.
