Anwar Hopes Malaysia-Brazil Ties Will Grow Closer After Lula's Victory
Published
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has expressed his desire to strengthen relations between Malaysia and Brazil following Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's victory in the country's presidential election.
Lula succeeded in securing his fourth term as president after defeating Senator Flavio Bolsonaro in the second round of Brazil's presidential election. The second round was held on 25 October, which fell on a Sunday.
This victory means Lula remains in the country's top office in Brazil. Anwar is reportedly seeing an opportunity to strengthen bilateral cooperation between the two countries in the future.
So far, further details on the areas of cooperation that will be prioritised have not been disclosed. Relevant parties are expected to continue providing further information on the matter.
