In brief
Malaysia's PM heads to New Delhi with a case for growth that reaches smaller economies too, then drops in on Kerala. Malaysia is using its Brics partner seat to argue that technology and trade gains should not stay concentrated in the biggest economies. Originally reported by Malay Mail.
A national statement in New Delhi
Anwar Ibrahim is set to deliver Malaysia's National Statement at the 18th Brics Leaders' Summit in New Delhi on September 13.
“Shaping the Future for Inclusive Global Growth”
The pitch is cooperation
He is expected to press Brics members and partners to work together on development challenges and to widen economic opportunity across the bloc.
Who gets the tech gains
A central theme: the benefits of technological advancement and innovation should be shared more inclusively, not captured by a handful of countries.
“enjoyed more inclusively by all countries”
Partner, not member
Malaysia sits at the summit as a Brics partner country, a status it has held since January 1, 2025.
The ministers in tow
Anwar, who also holds the finance portfolio, travelled with Trade Minister Johari Abdul Ghani and Human Resources Minister Ramanan Ramakrishnan.
Second leg: Kerala
After the leaders' family photo, he flies to Kozhikode to meet Grand Mufti Sheikh Abubakr Ahmad on community development, education and interfaith harmony.
Trade talks, then Maldives
Meetings with Kerala's chief minister and governor target trade, investment, tourism, healthcare and education. On September 14 he leaves for the Maldives.
The bottom line
Malaysia is using its Brics partner seat to argue that technology and trade gains should not stay concentrated in the biggest economies.
