SEPANG: Myanmar President Min Aung Hlaing has arrived in Malaysia for a two-day official visit.
The special aircraft carrying Min and his delegation touched down at the Bunga Raya Complex of Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) at 12.30pm on Wednesday (Oct 7).
Upon arrival, he was accorded a static guard of honour from the First Battalion of the Royal Malay Regiment.
Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani, the minister-in-attendance, was at the airport to welcome the Myanmar leader.
Also present were Malaysian Government Chief Protocol Officer Datuk Rozainor Ramli and Charge d'Affaires of Malaysia to Myanmar Hew Tse Hou.
On Thursday, Min will be accorded an official welcoming ceremony at the Perdana Putra Complex in Putrajaya, followed by a bilateral meeting with Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and an official luncheon hosted by the Prime Minister.
Wisma Putra said the visit would also provide the Prime Minister with an opportunity to sustain his direct engagement with Myanmar, in line with the decision of the 48th Asean Summit in May 2026 to continue constructive and principled engagement with Myanmar.
It said Myanmar is an integral part of Asean and Malaysia, as a fellow member state, will continue to support the bloc's efforts to promote peace, reconciliation and access to humanitarian assistance in the country.
Malaysia will also work closely with all Asean member states to ensure stability and prosperity in the region. – Bernama
