PETALING JAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim says he had a productive meeting with former Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra on Sunday (Feb 2).
He said that during his meeting with Thaksin, who heads the informal advisory group to the Asean chair, they discussed several key issues, including the situation in Myanmar and the state of play for developments in crypto currency among others.
"Had a meaningful meeting this afternoon with former Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra," Anwar said in a Facebook post Sunday.
He added that they continued their discussions in the evening when they were joined by former Singapore foreign minister George Yeo.
On Dec 16, Anwar announced the appointment of Thaksin as an informal adviser to assist Malaysia as Asean chair 2025.
Malaysia officially assumed the 2025 Asean chair on Jan 1, the fifth time since the establishment of Asean in 1967.
Malaysia was previously the chair of Asean in 1977, 1997, 2005 and 2015.
