BUSINESS KUALA LUMPUR, July 7 (Bernama) -- Prime Minister Narendra Modi has described Malaysia as vital for India and has a key place in his country's Vision MAHASAGAR and Act East Policy. In a posting on his personal X account @narendramodi, Modi said he met his Malaysian counterpart Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on the sidelines of the 17th BRICS Summit in Brazil. Modi said they reviewed the ground covered in bilateral relations, including the progress made since Anwar's visit to India last year. "Bilateral ties are growing strongly in futuristic sectors like IT, renewable energy and infrastructure. (We also) discussed how to improve investment and trade relations between our nations," he said. Modi announced Vision MAHASAGAR or 'Mutual and Holistic Advancement for Security and Growth Across Regions' for the Global South during his visit to Mauritius on March 12, this year. The MAHASAGAR vision builds on the SAGAR (Security and Growth for All in the Region) policy that Modi first announced during his visit to Mauritius in 2015. SAGAR has guided India's engagement with the Indian Ocean region over the past decade. Anwar arrived in Rio De Janeiro on Saturday to attend the 17th BRICS Leaders' Summit hosted by Brazil.

GENERAL From Arul Rajoo Durar Raj RIO DE JANEIRO, July 7 (Bernama) -- Malaysia stands united with Egypt and South Africa in demanding an immediate halt to all forms of aggression and oppression by the Israeli regime in Gaza. This common stance was reaffirmed during separate meetings between Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and his Egyptian counterpart, Mostafa Madbouly, as well as South African President Cyril Ramaphosa. Speaking from the BRICS Leaders' Summit, Anwar said both Malaysia and Egypt agreed that the international community must no longer remain silent in the face of ongoing human rights violations. During his meeting with Ramaphosa, Anwar also expressed Malaysia's deep appreciation for South Africa's unwavering support for the Palestinian cause, including its firm stance at the International Court of Justice (ICJ). South Africa was the first country to bring Israel before the ICJ over the genocide in Gaza, which has claimed more than 56,000 lives and devastated the region. Anwar added that both the Egyptian and South African leaders shared a commitment to further strengthen bilateral ties through cooperation in multiple sectors. Malaysia and South Africa agreed to review existing partnerships and explore new avenues to expand strategic investments in the agriculture, automotive, tourism and halal industries.
