NEW DELHI, Sept 13 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi is scheduled to make an official visit to Malaysia next month.

“Insya-Allah, several matters concerning Malaysia-Egypt relations will be discussed in greater depth during President El-Sisi’s official visit to Malaysia next month,” he said in a post on his social media today.

No further details on the visit were provided in the post.

El-Sisi was among the leaders Anwar met on the sidelines of a gala dinner held in conjunction with the 18th Brics Leaders’ Summit here yesterday.

In 2024, Malaysia and Egypt agreed to work towards elevating bilateral relations to a strategic partnership.

Anwar arrived here yesterday to attend the 18th Brics Leaders’ Summit, which concludes today.

The Prime Minister will continue his working visit to Keralam (officially renamed from Kerala), a state on the Malabar Coast of southern India.

This is Anwar’s second official visit to India, following his inaugural trip as Prime Minister in August 2024.
