"Our friendship continues to deepen, opening new avenues for cooperation, particularly following my visit to Pakistan last October," Anwar said in his Facebook post.
He also said Shehbaz is set to make his maiden visit to Malaysia in May this year and was looking forward to welcoming him on May 9.
“I pray that the blessings of Ramadan and Aidilfitri bring renewed strength to the Malaysia-Pakistan partnership for the prosperity of our peoples,” Anwar said.
