PETALING JAYA: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be coming to Malaysia on an official visit this weekend as part of efforts to build greater bilateral ties and trade between the two countries.
Having been officially invited by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, Modi is scheduled to hold bilateral talks with the former during his visit on Saturday (Feb 7) and SUnday (Feb 8).
According to India's External Affairs Ministry, Modi will also interact with members of the local Indian community in Malaysia, as well as its industry and business representatives.

“This will range from trade and investment; defence; security and maritime cooperation; digital and financial technology.
“The aspects of energy; healthcare; education; culture; tourism; people-to-people ties; as well as to set the path for future engagement for mutual benefit will also be reviewed,” the Ministry said in a press release on Wednesday (Feb 4).
