Official Visit of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (February 07 - 08, 2026)
February 04, 2026

Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi will pay an Official Visit to Malaysia from 07-08 February 2026, at the invitation of the Prime Minister of Malaysia, H.E. Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

This would be the third visit of Prime Minister to Malaysia, and the first after the elevation of the India-Malaysia bilateral relationship to a ‘Comprehensive Strategic Partnership’, in August 2024.

During the visit, Prime Minister will hold bilateral discussions with Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. Prime Minister will also interact with members of the Indian community, as well as industry and business representatives. The 10th India-Malaysia CEO Forum is also scheduled to be held coinciding with the visit of Prime Minister.

India and Malaysia share long-standing bonds of friendship, based on historical, civilisational and cultural connections. The relationship is further strengthened by the presence of a 2.9 million strong Indian diaspora in Malaysia, the third largest in the world.

The India-Malaysia relationship is multi-faceted and growing. The forthcoming visit of Prime Minister serves as an opportunity for both leaders to review the entire gamut of bilateral cooperation, ranging from trade and investment, defence, security and maritime cooperation, to digital and financial technology, energy, healthcare, education, culture, tourism, people-to-people ties; as well as to set the path for future engagement for mutual benefit.
