TASHKENT: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's official visit to Uzbekistan, the Kyrgyz Republic and Kazakhstan in Central Asia last week yielded positive results not only in terms of economic cooperation and several other sectors but also in the mission to find more staunch friends.

While many leaders of other countries are focused on official visits to developed countries and great powers, visits to Central Asian countries may not seem to have a significant impact on economic progress.
