PARIS: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim took the opportunity to meet with members of the Muslim community in France, led by the Rector of the Grand Mosque of Paris, Chems-eddine Mohamed Hafiz.
The session was held in conjunction with the Prime Minister's two-day official visit to France, which began on Thursday (July 3).
