Russia – Malaysia relations gaining new momentum, says Ambassador
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia remains a longstanding, reliable, and valued partner of Russia, with bilateral ties gaining renewed momentum, said Russian Ambassador to Malaysia Naiyl M. Latypov. Speaking at a reception marking Russia's National Day in Kuala Lumpur yesterday, Latypov said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and President Vladimir Putin had held extensive and constructive discussions during Anwar's recent visit to Russia. "This intensification of dialogue at the highest level clearly reflects the upward trajectory of our bilateral relations. Our cooperation spans a wide range of areas, including trade, investment, energy, tourism, education, and cultural and humanitarian exchange. "I hope that the motion along this trend will accelerate further, bringing more benefits to our nations," he said. Plantation and Commodities Minister Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani represented the government at the event. Also present was Agriculture and Food Security Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu. According to Latypov, Russia-Malaysia cooperation is grounded in mutual respect and shared benefit, with both countries consistently striving to understand one another's perspectives and to act as true partners. "Our leaders' exchanges on regional and international matters have shown that the positions of Russia and Malaysia are closely aligned. "Both of our countries are firm in upholding the principles of international law, sovereignty, and non-interference in internal affairs. We also coordinate effectively at multilateral platforms, including the United Nations," he stated. As Malaysia holds the Asean Chairmanship this year, Latypov said Russia places great importance on its dialogue with the Association. Asean's centrality is founded on inclusiveness, transparency, and equality, with full respect for the identity and interests of all its members, he added. On BRICS, Latypov said Russia is committed to supporting Malaysia's smooth and effective participation in all BRICS partner formats. On Russia's national day, he noted this year holds special significance for Russians as the country solemnly marks the 80th anniversary of the end of the Great Patriotic War and the Second World War. Russia and Malaysia's diplomatic relations were established in 1967, marking nearly six decades this year. During Anwar's four-day official visit to Russia last month, Putin stated bilateral ties are developing successfully and progressively, with both sides expressing strong interest in making the cooperation more substantive and transparent.

Putin: Russian-Malaysian Ties Growing With Focus On Deeper Cooperation
BUSINESS KUALA LUMPUR, May 14 (Bernama) -- Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that Russia-Malaysia relations are strengthening, reaffirming both countries' commitment to deepening meaningful and productive cooperation. He said Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's four-day official visit, from May 13 to 16, clearly demonstrates that bilateral ties are developing successfully and progressively, with both sides expressing strong interest in making their cooperation more substantive and transparent. During their meeting, Putin said he and Anwar discussed a spectrum of relevant issues concerning bilateral interaction, as well as pressing matters on the international agenda. Both leaders, he added, identified specific plans to strengthen Russian-Malaysian cooperation in the future. 'Russia and Malaysia have a long tradition of friendship and mutual understanding. We have always strived to work in partnership, building on the principles of mutual respect and mutual understanding,' he said during a joint press conference with Anwar in Moscow, Russia. He added that both countries have all the necessary prerequisites to further enhance this partnership. Elaborating on his discussion with Prime Minister Anwar, Putin said that, given Malaysia's current Chairmanship of ASEAN, the talks touched on prospects for further developing substantive dialogue between the international association and Russia. 'We spoke in detail about issues concerning the peaceful and sustainable development of the Asia-Pacific region,' the President said. In the cultural and humanitarian sphere, Putin said both countries regularly hold film festivals, photo exhibitions, and musical concerts.
