Malaysia’s King strengthens UAE ties after high-level Dubai talks

His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, the King of Malaysia, has returned home after a two-day official visit to the United Arab Emirates. The trip was organised at the invitation of UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

During the visit, Sultan Ibrahim held discussions with Sheikh Mohamed on strengthening ties between Malaysia and the UAE. Topics included defence collaboration, investment opportunities, and food security initiatives.
