    PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim received a courtesy call from Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Sunday at Seri Perdana.

    Anwar in his Facebook post shared that the visit was in conjunction with the envoy’s

    two-day official visit to Malaysia.

    He said during the visit, their discussions were primarily centred on Malaysia’s recent application for membership in the BRICS alliance, which Russia currently chairs.

    “This potential membership holds substantial promise for both nations and underscores our commitment to fostering robust international collaboration.

    “We also explored avenues to enhance bilateral cooperation, with a particular focus on strengthening ties in key areas such as investment and trade, science and technology, agriculture, defence and military, education, tourism and culture,” he said.

    Anwar said their conversation extended to pressing global issues, including the ongoing situation in Palestine.

    He said both Malaysia and Russia underscored the imperative need for a permanent ceasefire, immediate humanitarian relief, and the recognition of Palestine as a full member of the United Nations.

    On the conflict in Ukraine, Malaysia reiterated its stance on the importance of dialogue and diplomatic efforts as the path to a sustainable resolution.

    He added that the engagement reflects both countries shared dedication to addressing global challenges and advancing a cooperative international agenda.
