KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 18 (Bernama) — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has invited Thailand’s new Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul to visit Malaysia after he officially assumes his duties.
Anwar, in a Facebook post, said the invitation was extended to Anutin during a phone conversation between them today.
“The visit (by Anutin) is among the efforts to strengthen the close ties between the two neighbouring countries.
“We also discussed the latest developments at the Thailand-Cambodia border. I emphasised the importance for all parties to maintain peace and avoid allowing any differences to spark unnecessary tensions,” he said.
Anwar also called for any arising issues to be resolved at the negotiation table through the Joint Border Committee (JBC) meetings.
“Malaysia believes that the spirit of dialogue, diplomacy and mutual understanding is the best way to ensure regional peace and stability,” he added.
Anutin, 58, leader of the Bhumjaithai Party, officially took office as Thailand’s 32nd Prime Minister on Sept 7 after receiving royal assent, marking a new chapter in the country’s political leadership.
