From March 20 to 22, President Halimah Yacob from Singapore will pay a state visit to Malaysia.
Since 2013, this will be the first State Visit by the President of the Republic to Malaysia.
During the visit, she will be accompanied by her husband, Mohamed Abdullah Alhabshee.
Malaysia's Foreign Ministry, in a statement today, said Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah would greet President Halimah in a State Welcoming Ceremony at Istana Negara on March 21.
She will then have an audience with His Majesty, which will be followed by a banquet honoring President Halimah and her delegation.
The President's delegation will include the Minister in the Prime Minister's Office and Second Minister for Education and Foreign Affairs, Mohamad Maliki Bin Osman, the Minister of State for Trade and Industry, Low Yen Ling, and senior Singaporean officials.
During the visit, President Halimah will also receive a courtesy call from Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, during which the two leaders are anticipated to exchange views on bilateral, regional, and international matters of mutual concern.
According to the statement, this visit will reinforce the historic connections and diversified collaboration between the two countries.
In 2022, Singapore was Malaysia's second largest worldwide trading partner and largest among Asean nations, with a total trade volume of RM367.53 billion (US$83.53 billion) — an increase of 29.4% compared to 2021.
