I had the honour of meeting with President Vladimir Putin during my working visit to Vladivostok for the 9th Eastern Economic Forum. Our discussions, which continued well into a dinner graciously hosted by the President, were deep, wide-ranging, and productive.
President Putin and I expressed a shared commitment to strengthening ties between Malaysia and Russia. As Malaysia continues to expand its geoeconomic space and diversify its strategic relationships, Russia will be a key partner that shares our vision for growth, prosperity, and development. From Islamic finance to agriculture to education, the potential for Malaysia and Russia to leverage their expertise for the mutual benefit of their peoples is immense.
President Putin and I exchanged perspectives on global events, and I was pleased to accept his gracious invitation for Malaysia to participate in the forthcoming BRICS Summit in Kazan, Russia, on 22-24 October 2024. The invitation, extended directly by President Putin himself during a protracted and substantive bilateral cum working dinner session, is a clear testament to the importance Russia places on Malaysia. This marks a significant step towards our ultimate goal of joining the grouping.
I also expressed my hope that Russia will pursue a constructive path towards a peaceful and sustainable resolution to the conflict in Ukraine, resting on the foundations for a negotiated peace. Through continued engagement, I believe we can deepen our understanding during these challenging times. Additionally, we agreed that the international community must intensify pressure to end Israel’s ruthless genocidal campaigns in Gaza.
As we build on the commitments and shared vision discussed during this visit, I am optimistic that the foundations laid today will lead to meaningful cooperation between Russia and Malaysia in the years to come.

Take a hint: These companies should just close their shops in Malaysia. Then we can launch FahmiTok, AnwarBook, ZahidSter, and FadillahGram
