PM: King's Russia visit marks new chapter in bilateral ties
KUALA LUMPUR: The state visit by His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, the King of Malaysia, to Russia from Aug 5-10 marks a new chapter in Malaysia-Russia bilateral ties. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said the state visit was expected to strengthen strategic cooperation across various sectors, including bilateral trade, investment, higher education, technology and innovation, as well as people-to-people relations. "Malaysia is well-positioned to attract new investments and technologies from Russia, particularly in the energy, aerospace, defence and smart agriculture sectors. "This is in line with the Madani Economy framework, which prioritises competitiveness, sustainability and shared prosperity. "More significantly, the state visit underscores the role of the royal institution of Malaysia as a respected driver of national diplomacy on the global stage. "It also reinforces Malaysia's sovereignty and strengthens its image as a neutral, open and progressive nation," he said in a post on his Facebook page. Anwar said the visit was historic and significant, marking Sultan Ibrahim as the first Malaysian head of state undertaking a state visit to Russia since diplomatic relations were established in April 1967. He said it reflected the position of His Majesty as a symbol of national unity, who also plays a strategic role in strengthening Malaysia's international relations. Yesterday, Malaysia's Ambassador to Russia, Datuk Cheong Loon Lai, said that His Majesty's state visit, at the invitation of Russian President Vladimir Putin, was a recognition of the five decades of diplomatic ties between Russia and Malaysia, which was among the earliest Asean countries to establish ties with the then-Soviet Union. Sultan Ibrahim is scheduled to arrive in Moscow on Tuesday and will be accorded a state welcome ceremony at the Kremlin on Wednesday, before holding an official meeting with the Russian president and attending a state banquet. His Majesty is also scheduled to visit the Russian Automotive Technology Development Company (NAMI), as well as the Tochka Kipeniya Technology and Innovation Hub. On Friday, Sultan Ibrahim will travel to Kazan, the fifth largest city in Russia, to receive an audience from the Rais (Head) of the Republic of Tatarstan, Rustam Minnikhanov, at the Kazan Kremlin. His Majesty is also scheduled to attend a reception ceremony hosted by Minnikhanov and visit the Kazan Helicopter Plant to observe the manufacturing operations of civilian, defence and rescue helicopters.

Malaysia clarifies rare earth export terms with US under trade deal
KUALA LUMPUR: The agreement allowing unrestricted rare earth exports to the US does not grant exclusive rights to America, clarified Minister of Investment, Trade and Industry Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz. He emphasised that Malaysia currently imposes no export restrictions on these materials to any nation. The terms, part of the Malaysia-US trade negotiations under Section 5 - Economic and National Security, also address controls on AI chip exports from the US to certain countries. Malaysia will enforce stricter measures under the Strategic Trade Act 2010 starting July 14, 2025. Tengku Zafrul noted that tariff negotiations expanded beyond US requests, resulting in Malaysia offering reduced or eliminated import duties for 98.4% of tariff lines. Sales tax exemptions for US agricultural imports like fruits and seafood were agreed upon, though excise duties remain. Local industry protections stay intact, with no blanket exemptions for US import licenses or full foreign equity liberalisation in strategic sectors. Bumiputera equity requirements are also upheld. On digital services tax (DST), Malaysia applies non-discriminatory policies. The government will no longer require US social media and cloud providers to contribute 6% of revenue to the Universal Service Provision Fund. A directive redirecting DNS traffic to local services was also repealed. To prevent trade loopholes, MITI will exclusively issue Non-Preferential Certificates of Origin for US-bound exports starting May 6, 2025. - Bernama

‘No compromise': Only Jakim-recognised US halal certifiers allowed for meat, poultry imports, says Tengku Zafrul
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 4 — Malaysia will only accept meat and poultry imports from the United States if the halal certification is issued by bodies recognised by the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (Jakim), Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz said today. He stressed that while the move aims to ease trade between both countries, there would be no compromise on halal standards thus ensuring that all imported products continue to comply with Malaysia's halal standards. 'All imported products must still comply fully with Malaysia's halal requirements, in line with Syariah principles,' he told the Dewan Rakyat. This is to protect the interests of Muslim consumers in Malaysia, he said. Tengku Zafrul said the facilitation measures would apply solely to monitoring and verification processes, and even then, only by US halal certifiers already recognised by Jakim. MORE TO COME
