Kuala Lumpur All Set to Extend Grand Welcome to PM Shehbaz

Kuala Lumpur, October 5, 2025 — The Malaysian capital is preparing a grand reception for Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif, who has arrived on a three-day official visit at the invitation of his Malaysian counterpart, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.

The streets and highways of Kuala Lumpur have been decorated with Pakistani and Malaysian flags, symbolizing the friendship between the two nations. The visit is being hailed as a significant step toward strengthening bilateral relations.

During his stay, PM Shehbaz will engage in high-level meetings with Malaysian leadership. The agenda includes discussions on expanding cooperation in trade, investment, IT, the halal industry, education, energy, and the digital economy.

Officials from both countries believe the visit will mark the beginning of a new era of Pak-Malaysia relations, enhancing not only government-to-government ties but also paving the way for stronger people-to-people contact.

The Pakistani premier’s visit underscores the growing importance of Malaysia as a partner in the region, particularly in the fields of economic collaboration and digital innovation. Diplomats expect the trip to result in new agreements and joint ventures that will further boost the partnership.

This visit is widely seen as a historic opportunity for Pakistan to strengthen its footprint in Southeast Asia while reinforcing its commitment to regional cooperation and prosperity.
