KUALA LUMPUR, July 10 (Bernama) -- Malaysia and Sri Lanka have agreed to further strengthen bilateral cooperation in the areas of trade, tourism, education and skilled labour, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
He said the matter was discussed during a courtesy call by Sri Lanka’s Foreign Affairs, Foreign Employment and Tourism Minister Vijitha Herath today, in conjunction with the 58th ASEAN Foreign Ministers’ Meeting (AMM) and related meetings currently taking place here.
“This close relationship not only benefits both countries but also contributes to regional stability and development,” he said in a Facebook post.
Anwar also expressed appreciation for Sri Lanka’s continued contribution to shaping a more inclusive, peaceful and prosperous future for the region.
He added that Malaysia will continue to work closely with Sri Lanka to achieve shared progress, not only for the people of both countries but also to build a more united, prosperous and resilient ASEAN community.
The 58th AMM and related meetings, held under Malaysia’s ASEAN Chairmanship 2025 themed "Inclusivity and Sustainability", feature 24 ministerial-level meetings involving ASEAN Dialogue Partners and Sectoral Dialogue Partners.
The four-day high-level gathering brings together around 1,500 delegates, including ASEAN and Timor-Leste Foreign Ministers, ASEAN Dialogue Partners, ASEAN Regional Forum participants, Sectoral Dialogue Partners and senior ASEAN Secretariat officials.
