NEW DELHI—India and Malaysia will seek to expand economic ties and strengthen cooperation on defense and security, the leaders of the two countries said on Tuesday.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, left, welcomes his Malaysian counterpart Anwar Ibrahim upon his arrival at the Indian presidential palace during his ceremonial reception in New Delhi, India on Tuesday, Aug. 20, 2024.
Recently, Anwar has sought to move closer to China, with whom New Delhi has been locked in a long-running border dispute. A key part of Modi’s foreign policy has been to deepen trade and ties with other Asian countries, including Malaysia, to push back against growing Chinese influence in the region.
Modi said the two had discussed cooperation in the defense sector, and that trade and investment between the two countries should grow while they collaborate on new industries like the production of semiconductors. He also stressed how the partnership between the two countries had grown, taking on “new momentum and energy” over the years.
