KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 27 — Malaysia and Canada have agreed to strengthen their economic and investment ties, while also exploring new opportunities in green energy, innovation, and education to advance inclusive and sustainable growth.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said the matter was agreed upon during a bilateral meeting with his Canadian counterpart Mark Carney on the sidelines of the 47th Asean Summit and Related Summits today.
Citing examples, he said the Petronas Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) joint venture in Canada stands as a strong example of both nations’ mutual confidence and partnership.
In a Facebook post, Anwar said Carney’s maiden official visit to Asia since assuming office in March reflects Canada’s commitment to deeper engagement with Asean, especially in economic cooperation and sustainable development.
Carney arrived in Malaysia on Saturday (October 25) to attend the summit as a guest of the chair, at Anwar's invitation.
He was accompanied by his spouse Diana Fox Carney, as well as International Trade Minister Maninder Sidhu and senior government officials.
The 47th Asean Summit and Related Summits serve as a key platform for strengthening cooperation and addressing regional and global challenges comprehensively.
