Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, during his state visit to Malaysia, emphasized the importance of building a relationship grounded in mutual respect, shared values, and cooperation for the greater good of both nations.

Speaking alongside Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim in Putrajaya, he described Malaysia as a “second home” and highlighted the warmth and sincerity with which Pakistanis are received there.

PM Shehbaz underlined that Pakistan seeks to “join hands” with Malaysia not only in trade and investment but also in areas such as technology, artificial intelligence, and sustainable development.

He stressed that collaboration between the two nations should go beyond economics — it should reflect a humanitarian spirit of solidarity, knowledge sharing, and collective growth.

The premier acknowledged the contributions of 150,000 Pakistanis living and working in Malaysia, calling them a bridge between the two brotherly nations.

He also welcomed Malaysia’s interest in Pakistan’s meat exports while assuring that all halal and quality standards would be strictly met, emphasizing fairness and transparency.

He praised Anwar Ibrahim’s leadership, vision, and commitment to building Malaysia into a strong and dynamic economy, and expressed hope that Pakistan could learn from Malaysia’s experiences to empower its youth through modern education and technology.

In his remarks, PM Ibrahim acknowledged Pakistan’s principled stance on global humanitarian issues, especially Palestine, and expressed gratitude for the contributions of Pakistani professionals and students in Malaysia.

Both leaders reaffirmed their commitment to peace, cooperation, and standing together for the betterment of the Muslim world.

The visit, marked by warmth, respect, and a guard of honour, symbolizes not only a diplomatic engagement but also a humanitarian partnership — one built on shared values of dignity, progress, and compassion for people on both sides.
