KUALA LUMPUR: Detractors are wrong to claim that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s recent official visit to Saudi Arabia was not fruitful just because he did not meet King Salman Abdul Aziz Al-Saud and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, according to analysts.

One of them, Dr Mazlan Ali, senior lecturer of Perdana Centre, Razak Technology and Informatics Faculty at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), said that most importantly the prime minister had made the three-day visit at the invitation of the highest leadership of Saudi Arabia.
