KUALA LUMPUR, July 8 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has described his visit to Rio de Janeiro to attend the 17th BRICS Leaders’ Summit as a significant success in strengthening bilateral ties and expanding Malaysia’s network of strategic cooperation at the global level.
In a Facebook post after leading a Malaysian delegation to Brazil, Anwar said the visit achieved its main objectives, including strengthening bilateral relations not only with Brazil but also with other BRICS members.
“Malaysia’s name continues to be on the lips of international investors as a result of the unwavering commitment of the entire Madani Government in attracting high-quality investments that can drive growth and generate benefits for the people.
“Let us not be distracted by dissenting voices that attempt to belittle these efforts. Our journey is far from over, and we will continue to forge ahead with determination and commitment to bring real change to the country and future generations,” said Anwar.
He also expressed his appreciation to all parties who contributed to the success of the mission, including ministry officers and agencies, the Malaysian Embassy in Brazil, the security team, and members of the media for their dedication and strong commitment.
“We continue moving forward for a Malaysia that is more respected, stable and prosperous. Obrigado, Brasil. Até nos encontrarmos novamente (Thank you, Brazil. Until we meet again),” he said.
Anwar came home yesterday after a three-nation tour that earlier took him to Italy and France.
The chartered Malaysia Airlines flight carrying Anwar and his delegation departed Galeão Air Base at 1pm local time.
