My friend, Prime Minister, I express my heartfelt gratitude to you. The way I and my delegates were welcomed, and the way you so brilliantly presented Malaysian life in a way that defied convention in just a few hours, and the way you organized things so well, will be remembered forever, and for that I express my special gratitude from the bottom of my heart. I am fully experiencing what friendship is, the height and depth of friendship, and for that I am very grateful to you.
Excellency,
It is my privilege to visit Malaysia for the third time as Prime Minister, and such is our friendship that I am getting the opportunity to meet you for the fourth time during your tenure. This in itself reflects our dynamism and dynamism. The pace and depth that our bilateral relations have gained over the years is truly inspiring. I sincerely thank you for your invaluable contribution to this. Today, our cooperation is deepening in every field, from agriculture and manufacturing to clean energy and semiconductors. We are also important partners in skill development and capacity building. Our defense and security cooperation is also steadily strengthening.
Excellency,
I once again congratulate you on your successful chairmanship of ASEAN. We are confident that with Malaysia's support, our relations with ASEAN will deepen and expand further.
Excellency,
The true strength of our relationship is the people-to-people bond. Nearly three million Malaysians of Indian origin are the living bridge between our countries. Yesterday, I also had the opportunity to meet the Diaspora with you. I had a very special experience, and I saw the personal respect and love that the Diaspora has for you. I felt it, and I was very proud. The support of friendly countries is crucial in our fight against terrorism. Excellency, we firmly believe that the prosperity of India and Malaysia is intertwined. In this environment of global instability, India and Malaysia, as two maritime neighbors, must realize the full potential of our relationship. The core message of my visit today is clear: India wants to take our relationship with Malaysia to a new level and expand and deepen cooperation in every area. Once again, I express my heartfelt gratitude to you and your entire team for such a warm and wonderful welcome to me and my delegation.
