Malaysia’s Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, is set to attend a special meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This visit marks a significant step in international diplomacy and economic discourse, with the theme ‘Global Collaboration, Growth and Energy for Development’ guiding the discussions.
Prime Minister Anwar’s participation in the WEF special meeting is a testament to Malaysia’s growing influence on the global stage. The forum will see him engage with world leaders and business moguls, discussing sustainable development, energy security, and the pressing geopolitical issues of our time.

Strengthening ASEAN-GCC Relations
A key highlight of Anwar’s visit is the Joint Regional Strategy Dialogue on ASEAN – Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). As Malaysia gears up for its ASEAN chairmanship in 2025, this dialogue is crucial for strengthening ties between the two regions.

Charting Malaysia’s Economic Course
The Country Strategy Dialogue is another focal point of Anwar’s visit, where he will delve into Malaysia’s strategic priorities and initiatives. This curated session will offer a glimpse into the nation’s economic and fiscal growth plans, as well as trade and investment opportunities.
Through these discussions, Anwar aims to attract global investors and business leaders to Malaysia, showcasing the country as a dynamic and thriving economic hub. The dialogue will also serve as a platform to explore bilateral relations and cooperative ventures in various fields of mutual interest.
