Ibrahim had arrived in the national capital today for a state visit, his first visit to India as the Malaysian premier. He was warmly received by Union Minister of State, V Somanna at the airport.

He also paid homage to Mahatma Gandhi, laying a wreath at Delhi’s Rajghat following his meeting with PM Modi. Ibrahim also signed the visitor’s book at the Rajghat.

In his message on X, the Malaysian Prime Minister said, “The relationship between Malaysia and India has long been beneficial to the people of both friendly countries. That fact was highlighted when the official welcome was received in a friendly atmosphere this morning by the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi at the Rashtrapati Bhavan Presidential Palace. Our discussion will certainly emphasize the aspect of close cooperation between the two countries in addition to exploring other fields that can strengthen this friendly relationship, God willing. I was honoured with an official welcoming ceremony at the Rashtrapati Bhavan, the Presidential Palace in New Delhi.”

India and Malaysia have strong historical and socio-cultural linkages. Our bilateral relationship was elevated to the status of Enhanced Strategic Partnership in 2015 during the visit of Prime Minister Modi.
