[Anthony Albanese @AlboMP]

Together we are strengthening our fuel and food security and strengthening the economies in our region.

[Anwar Ibrahim @anwaribrahim]

Meraikan ketibaan Perdana Menteri Australia, @AlboMP yang memulakan lawatan rasmi ke Malaysia selama tiga hari bermula hari ini hingga Jumaat.

PM Albanese dan delegasi diberi sambutan rasmi termasuk pemeriksaan kawalan kehormatan oleh Batalion Pertama Rejimen Askar Melayu Diraja (1 RAMD).

Insya-Allah, lawatan ini akan terus memperkukuh usaha diplomatik dalam meredakan ketegangan serantau, di samping memastikan kelangsungan laluan perdagangan antarabangsa serta kestabilan rantaian bekalan tenaga demi kesejahteraan bersama.

Moga lawatan ini membuka lembaran baharu dalam mempererat hubungan Malaysia–Australia ke tahap yang lebih dinamik dan bermakna.

To those celebrating Eid al-Fitr - Eid Mubarak, Selamat hari raya Aidilfitri. A few years back I tried wearing the Malay costume for the first time (fail 😆), consisting of a baju (shirt), seluar (trousers), songket (skirt type around waist) and songkok (headgear).

Great to be at the #ABARES Outlook Conference, immersed in thought-provoking discussions on food security, international trade, sustainability, and the role of technology in shaping the future of agriculture.

Conversations reinforced how interconnected our challenges are - global market dynamics to on-farm innovation and responsible resource mgt. It’s encouraging to see such strong commitment across industry, government and research to building a resilient, future focused sector.

[Sanjay Boothalingam @SanjayBooth]

Wide ranging discussion on plans for key meetings this year and respective market access issues. Malaysia is a key agriculture export market for us, underpinned by decades of strong partnerships across government and industry.
