New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will pay an official visit to Malaysia from February 7–8, 2026, at the invitation of the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim, the Ministry of External Affairs announced.

This will be the third visit of the 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, the Prime Minister will hold bilateral discussions with Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. He 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 Prime Minister’s visit.

As per the MEA, 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 the 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 and people-to-people ties, as well as to set the path for future engagement for mutual benefit.
