PUTRAJAYA, Oct 8 — Malaysia and Myanmar have agreed to further strengthen bilateral relations by focusing on people-centric cooperation, including trade, investment, education, agri-food, energy, healthcare and capacity building.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said both countries committed to enhancing collaboration while taking into account issues that needed to be addressed.
“We have had excellent relations for a long time, but of course recent developments have somewhat blocked that sort of progress. So I think our interest is, of course, to enhance this collaboration.
“We, of course, are reminded of the Asean mechanism, but we also understand that the President and your government have made a lot of efforts not only to enhance bilateral relations but to have the necessary reform policy changes and adjustments in your own country,” he said at a joint media conference with Myanmar President Min Aung Hlaing, here today.
