Anwar Expresses Gratitude for Putin’s BRICS Summit Invitation

KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim recently expressed his heartfelt appreciation to Russian President Vladimir Putin. He thanked Putin for the invitation to attend the recently concluded BRICS Summit. Anwar conveyed his gratitude through a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday, October 10.

Acknowledging Minister Rafizi Ramli

In his post, Anwar also recognized Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli, who represented him at the summit in Kazan, Russia. Ramli’s presence was significant. It demonstrated Malaysia’s solidarity with the BRICS nations and highlighted the government’s ongoing efforts to elevate Malaysia’s global position.

BRICS: A Powerful Coalition

The BRICS group consists of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. This powerful coalition of emerging economies has recently added Malaysia as one of the 13 partner countries. Consequently, Malaysia is now recognized within this influential bloc. The BRICS nations collectively represent about 40% of the global population and are responsible for nearly one-fifth of global trade.

Economic Significance of BRICS

The economic weight of BRICS is impressive. The group contributes a combined Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of US$26.6 trillion, which accounts for around 26.2% of the world’s total GDP. This economic might is comparable to that of the Group of Seven (G7), underscoring the BRICS bloc’s significance in global economic discussions.

Malaysia’s Strategic Positioning

Anwar’s participation, albeit through representation, at such a prestigious summit reflects Malaysia’s strategic approach to foreign relations. It also illustrates the government’s intention to strengthen ties with major emerging markets. This approach ensures that Malaysia remains a relevant player in the global arena.

Future Opportunities for Malaysia

As Malaysia continues to navigate its position within the BRICS framework, the government aims to leverage this partnership. The focus will be on fostering economic growth, attracting investment, and enhancing trade opportunities. Ultimately, these efforts will benefit the nation’s overall development.
