Malaysia, Qatar to enhance investment cooperation, says Anwar


DOHA: Malaysia and Qatar have agreed to enhance investment cooperation between the two countries in the coming years, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

He said the understanding was reached when he met the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and was later mentioned in depth during a meeting with his counterpart, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani.

Bilateral cooperation, facilitating investment, and higher education were also discussed, said Anwar, and then further discussed in a meeting with Sheikh Mohammed, who is also Qatar's Foreign Minister.

"We both agree that investment cooperation between the two countries needs to be further enhanced in the coming years,” he said in a message on X on Monday (May 13).

"The Malaysian delegation was then treated to a national banquet hosted by Sheikh Mohammed.

"Hopefully, the bond of friendship between Malaysia and Qatar will continue to grow for mutual benefit," said Anwar, who is also the Finance Minister

Earlier, Anwar was felicitated in an official reception and lunch at the Amiri Diwan, which is Qatar's government hall, in conjunction with his maiden visit to the country.

The Prime Minister spent about 30 minutes with Sheikh Tamim, which was followed by a meeting with Sheikh Mohammed.
