Over RM8bil in investments secured during Anwar's Rome visit
ROME: Malaysia has successfully secured potential investments worth RM8.13bil in various sectors from Italy following Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's three-day official visit to Rome. Emphasising the importance of economic cooperation between the two nations, the Prime Minister said Malaysia is an important market for Italy in the South-East Asia region. "The potential investments secured via the two meetings totalled to RM8.13bil and spans across sectors such as petrochemical, machinery and equipment, electrical and electronics, services as well as oil and gas," Anwar said at his exit press conference on Thursday (July 3) before departing for Paris, France. Malaysia has also generated potential exports worth RM425mil in the oleochemicals, renewable energy, biofuel feedstocks, animal feed additives as well as in the food industries, he said. Anwar said the visit of the Malaysian delegation saw the meeting of over 100 captains of industries, business leaders and major companies from both countries. Anwar also said he invited his Italian counterpart, Giorgia Meloni to visit Malaysia. During the three-day working visit to Italy, Anwar also attended a gathering with 120 Malaysians based in the country. He also met with the Comunita Religiosa Islamica Italiana (Coreis) vice-president Imam Yahya Pallavicini and Islamic Cultural Centre of Italy-Grand Mosque of Rome secretary-general Abdellah Redouane. In 2024, the total trade between Malaysia and Italy saw a 2% year-on-year increase to RM14.61bil (US$3.18bil). Between January and May 2025, bilateral trade grew by 3.3% year-on-year to RM6.5bil (US$1.48bil). Italy remained Malaysia's fifth-largest trading partner and the third-largest importer of Malaysian palm oil among European Union member states in 2024.

Anwar meets Italian Muslim leaders in Rome, calls for unity and moderation in face of Islamophobia
ROME, July 3 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who is on a three-day working visit to Italy, took the opportunity to meet with members of the Muslim community here on Wednesday. During the meeting, he held discussions with Comunita Religiosa Islamica Italiana (COREIS) vice-president Imam Yahya Pallavicini and Islamic Cultural Centre of Italy-Grand Mosque of Rome secretary-general Abdellah Redouane. Anwar said the session provided a platform to exchange views on strengthening the development of the ummah, including addressing Islamophobia through wisdom and diplomacy. 'I reaffirmed Malaysia's commitment to promoting Islam that upholds moderation, tolerance and harmony through education, dakwah and international collaboration, with the Muslim community in Italy,' he said after the meeting. As a symbol of goodwill and the sharing of knowledge, Anwar also presented contributions to the Muslim community in Rome, including a special edition of the Quran and 10 Italian-translated copies. Italy is home to an estimated 2.7 million Muslims. Meanwhile, Anwar expressed his appreciation to translator Andrea Fais and publisher Stefano Bonilauri for their efforts in translating his book The Asian Renaissance into Italian. 'This work, published more than two decades ago, presents a broad vision of the revival of the Asian civilisation through the values of knowledge, culture, openness and justice, as a response to global imbalances and the dominance of Western narratives. 'I deeply appreciate the dedication of these Italian scholars in translating the book, which allows key ideas on democracy and values-driven development to be widely shared and understood across the international community,' the prime minister said. Anwar also said that the initiative was more than just a translation effort — it served as a bridge for thought and understanding between East and West in a divided global landscape. 'May this work continue to inspire efforts to champion the universal values of humanity, knowledge and justice,' he added. — Bernama
