KUALA LUMPUR: United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim have discussed ways to expand economic cooperation under the upgraded Malaysia-US Comprehensive Strategic Partnership (CSP).
The discussion took place during a telephone conversation between the two on Thursday, according to a readout issued by the US Department of State.
The department said the conversation included opportunities to strengthen economic cooperation through secure, cutting-edge American technology.
Malaysia and the US elevated their bilateral relations from a Comprehensive Partnership to a CSP on Oct 26, 2025, during a meeting between Anwar and President Donald Trump in Kuala Lumpur.
