PM Anwar alerts embassy to assist Malaysian stranded in Italy due to pickpocket stealing passport
He said the Foreign Ministry has also been alerted to ensure appropriate action is taken to resolve the matter.
Anwar was responding to a post by Dalila on X, in which she appealed for help after losing her passport.
'Salam PMX @anwaribrahim, my name is Dalila Zaidi and I'm a Malaysian currently stranded in Milan after my passport was stolen in the afternoon yesterday, 30 June 2025 near Santa Sofia station...I truly appreciate your attention to this,' she wrote.
In her post, Dalila claimed she had attempted to obtain an Emergency Travel Document from the Malaysian Embassy in Rome, but was informed that it was not possible due to the absence of an authorised officer to sign the necessary documents.

PM Anwar meets with Italian industry leaders on his second day in Europe
ROME: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim began his second working day in Italy with one-on-one business discussions with top leaders from strategic sectors such as defence and energy. The meetings with Fincantieri and Leonardo, two major Italian defence firms that participated in the recent Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition (LIMA), have opened doors to long-term ventures. "I stressed the importance of a government-to-government approach to strengthen Malaysia's role as a hub in maintenance, repair, and operations," Anwar said on Thursday (July 2). He emphasised that the session was crucial in maintaining Malaysia's position as a stable and reliable investment destination. Anwar met with Fincantieri CEO Pierroberto Folgiero, Leonardo senior marketing and strategic campaign VP Tomasso Pani, and ENI CEO Claudio Descalzi, along with PETRONAS president and Group CEO Tan Sri Tengku Muhammad Taufik Tengku Kamadjaja Aziz. During an interactive session moderated by Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz, several Italian company representatives expressed their reasons for investing in Malaysia. One noted that the Asian nation is financially stable and its people are easy to work with. "We have worked with major entities like Abu Dhabi and several cities in China, but Malaysia is almost perfect. It is a hub of the South Pacific region and as a country, developed to a very advanced level," he said. Most participants praised the Malaysian government's efforts in creating a reliable environment for trade.

PN calls for more details on Ambalat development plan with Indonesia
Opposition leader Hamzah Zainudin said rushing into a joint development agreement with a foreign country claiming maritime sovereignty over the area to be developed could jeopardise Malaysia's interests. PETALING JAYA : Perikatan Nasional (PN) has called for clarity on the country's plans to work with Indonesia to jointly develop the disputed Ambalat area off the east coast of Borneo, said to hold the world's largest crude oil reserves. Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and Indonesian president Prabowo Subianto announced plans last week to jointly develop the Ambalat block in the Sulawesi Sea while continuing legal and diplomatic discussions on maritime sovereignty in the 15,000 sq km area. In a statement today, opposition leader Hamzah Zainudin said the announcement appeared to contradict several previous comments from Anwar about the Ambalat block and Sulawesi Sea Treaty when they were raised in Parliament. 'Rushing into a joint development agreement with a foreign country which is claiming maritime sovereignty (over the area to be developed) could jeopardise Malaysia's national interests,' said Hamzah, who served as home minister under former prime ministers Muhyiddin Yassin and Ismail Sabri Yaakob. 'PN demands that the complete details of the joint development in Ambalat and the Sulawesi Sea Treaty documents be debated in Parliament. The rakyat have the right to be informed about it.' The Sulawesi Sea Treaty, signed in Putrajaya on June 8, 2023 in conjunction with then Indonesian president Joko Widodo's working visit to Malaysia, came under scrutiny after it was claimed that Malaysia was relinquishing its rights to the oil-rich Ambalat block. However, Wisma Putra said that the treaty did not involve the Ambalat block's maritime borders. Malaysia and Indonesia have had overlapping claims over the waters of the Sulawesi Sea known as the Ambalat block – located between East Kalimantan, Indonesia, and southeast Sabah – since Malaysia published a map in 1979 showing the maritime border area within Malaysian waters. Meanwhile, former prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin said that any deal involving disputed land or maritime areas should wait until the borders are clearly determined by the International Court of Justice or other recognised legal bodies. The PN chairman said that proceeding without a clear ruling could set a dangerous precedent and might be used in the future to undermine Malaysia's claims over the same or other areas. Muhyiddin added that such actions could harm the country's rights and dignity, as the risks involved are significant and could have long-term consequences for the nation.

PM Anwar meets Italian industrial leaders to boost Malaysia investments
ROME: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim held high-level discussions with top executives from Italy's leading industrial firms, reinforcing Malaysia's position as a stable and progressive investment destination. The meetings, held on the second day of his working visit, focused on strategic sectors like defence and energy. Anwar engaged with shipbuilding giant Fincantieri's CEO Pierroberto Folgiero and Leonardo's senior vice-president Tomasso Pani, both key players in defence and aerospace. The talks aimed to strengthen Malaysia's role as a regional maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) hub through government-to-government (G2G) partnerships. The Prime Minister also met ENI's CEO Claudio Descalzi to explore energy collaborations with Petronas. 'I emphasised Malaysia's readiness for mutually beneficial investments and urged concrete actions to realise proposed projects within set timelines,' Anwar stated. Accompanied by ministers including Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan and Defence Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin, Anwar later met Italy's Deputy Prime Minister Antonio Tajani ahead of the Malaysia-Italy Economic Partnership Roundtable. Trade between Malaysia and Italy grew by 3.3% year-on-year in early 2025, reaching RM6.5 billion. Italy remains Malaysia's fifth-largest trading partner and a major importer of Malaysian palm oil in the EU.
