ANKARA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was accorded an official welcome at the Presidential Complex here today.
He was greeted upon arrival at the complex about 4.30pm by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
The Negaraku and the Turkish anthem Istiklal Marsi were then played, with the two leaders then inspecting an honour guard mounted by the Presidential Guard Regiment.
Anwar and Erdogan then proceeded to hold a four-eyed meeting before co-chairing an inaugural High-Level Strategic Cooperation Council (HLSCC) meeting.
Tomorrow, Anwar will attend a roundtable discussion with Turkish corporations in Istanbul.
In 2024, Turkiye was Malaysia’s third-largest trading partner among West Asian countries, with total bilateral trade reaching over US$5 billion.
