PM arrives in Singapore for one-day working visit

SINGAPORE: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has arrived in Singapore today for a compact one-day working visit.

The aircraft carrying the prime minister, who is accompanied by his wife, Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, landed at the VIP Complex, Changi International Airport, at 10.30 am.

They were received by Malaysia's High Commissioner to Singapore Datuk Dr Azfar Mohamad Mustafar.

The republic's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and his wife will host Anwar and Dr Wan Azizah for a tea session.

Anwar was here in January this year for his first official visit to Singapore in his current capacity.

While in Singapore, Anwar, who is also Finance Minister, will participate in two special sessions at the Milken Institute Asia Summit 2023.

The first one-hour session, 'A Conversation with Prime Minister of Malaysia' will be moderated by Bloomberg's anchor and chief international correspondent for Southeast Asia, Haslinda Amin.

It will then be followed by another 45-minute session, 'Malaysia's Investment Outlook: A Conversation between the Prime Minister and Global Investors', which is to be moderated by Milken Institute's chair of Asia, Robin Hu.

California-headquartered think tank Milken Institute is a non-profit, non-partisan think tank focused on accelerating measurable progress on the path to a meaningful life.
