PM's Philippines visit of 'great significance', says Zambry

MANILA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s two-day official visit to the Philippines beginning Wednesday (March 1) will be of ‘great significance’ and highlights the importance of bilateral ties between the two neighbouring countries, says Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir (pic).

Anwar will be the first government leader to visit the Philippines since Ferdinand Marcos Jr was elected as the country’s 17th president in June last year, and is expected to discuss various important issues, including commerce, investment, economics and security, with the Philippines president during his inaugural visit since becoming Malaysia’s 10th prime minister.
