Prime Minister Imran Khan will leave for Malaysia on two-day official visit today (Tuesday) to hold talks with his Malaysian counterpart Dr Mahathir Mohamad to explore new avenues for bilateral cooperation in various areas. Diplomatic sources told Business Recorder that Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi and Finance Minister Asad Umar will accompany the Prime Minister during his two-day visit to Malaysia from November 20-21.
They said the Prime Minister and his delegation will be travelling via a special plane to Kuala Lumpur where he will be received by Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs Senator Dato Maarzuki Yahya, other senior Malaysian authorities and officials of the Pakistan's High Commission.
Upon his arrival in Kuala Lumpur, the sources said, PM Khan will witness guard of honour on November 20, while his official engagements with the Malaysian leadership will begin on November 21.
The Prime Minister will depart for Perdana Square on November 21 where he would have a one-on-one meeting with Malaysian Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad followed by delegation level talks. They said the talks would focus on enhancing cooperation in various areas and issues of mutual interests.
The sources said the two sides were expected to sign memoranda of understanding followed by a joint presser. Prime Minister Khan will also attend a luncheon to be hosted by Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad in his honour.
They said that Prime Minister Khan would also call on Malaysian King Sultan Muhammad V of Kelantan on the same day to discuss issues of mutual interest.
The Prime Minister is also scheduled to hold interaction with investors after which he would visit Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) followed by an interactive session with Pakistani community members as well as the local media groups.
They said the Prime Minister would conclude his visit the same day and arrive back on Wednesday night.
The visit comes at a time when United States is at loggerhead with China, a key strategic partner of Pakistan and a partner in China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) under the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).
In August this year following a comeback in May 2018 elections, Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad cancelled two Chinese-funded projects - East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) project and a natural gas pipeline project - amounting to $20 billion and parts of the BRI.
