India's Modi visits Malaysia amid deepening ties
"This morning, I had the pleasure of welcoming my friend and Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, to Perdana Putra for the official welcoming ceremony,"
"People-to-people linkages are at the core of India-Malaysia friendship. The Social Security Agreement, gratis e-visa for tourism and the coming of UPI to Malaysia will bring our people even closer,"
"This meeting and these exchanges are very vital, very strategic and critical to advance and enhance relations between India and Malaysia,"
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Malaysia, his first trip since India and Malaysia upgraded ties to a comprehensive strategic partnership in August 2024. Official welcoming ceremonies and bilateral meetings took place in Putrajaya. Leaders reaffirmed partnership to bolster bilateral trade and deepen cooperation on defense and semiconductors. People-to-people linkages were emphasized through a Social Security Agreement, gratis e-visa for tourism, and the introduction of UPI in Malaysia.
