Kosovo Opens Embassy in Malaysia, Marking New Chapter in Bilateral Ties - PM Anwar

PUTRAJAYA (Malaysia), May 2 (Bernama) -- Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has extended his congratulations and warm welcome to the government of Kosovo on the opening of its embassy in Kuala Lumpur, which is scheduled to be officially inaugurated at 6 pm Friday.

Speaking at a joint press conference held in conjunction with the four-day official visit of Kosovo’s President, Dr Vjosa Osmani Sadriu, Anwar described the establishment of the embassy as a landmark moment in strengthening bilateral relations between Malaysia and Kosovo.

“This will certainly facilitate trade, investment, education, culture, and tourism between our two countries. It will also include cooperation in halal products, as Malaysia’s halal specifications are internationally recognised, and help facilitate the export of products from both Malaysia and Kosovo,” Anwar said.

He further emphasised the importance of economic collaboration, particularly in leveraging Kosovo’s ties with the European Union.

“But more critically, the collaboration in trade and investment so that we can utilise the strength of Kosovo and the strong relations with the European Union,” he added.

President Osmani Sadriu, who arrived Thursday, was accorded an official welcoming ceremony at Perdana Putra Complex earlier Friday.
