MALAYSIA will strengthen bilateral relations in various fields with Iran, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said.

The prime minister expressed the desire in a meeting with Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi in New York, which was shared through a post on Facebook today.

“In the meeting, I expressed Malaysia’s desire to cooperate in the fields of economy, education, food security, science and technology as well as exploring other areas,” he said.

Malaysia also reaffirmed its commitment to conduct a Joint Commission Meeting and a Joint Economic Commission Meeting between the two countries to refine the potential scope of cooperation.

“Hopefully, the relations between Malaysia and China will continue to be strengthened for mutual benefits, insya-Allah,” said the prime minister.
