Anwar Ibrahim Engages Top Thai Conglomerates to Boost Investment and Strengthen Malaysia-Thailand Ties
Kuala Lumpur, The Gulf Observer: Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim met with representatives from three of Thailand’s leading conglomerates—TCC Group, Minor International Group, and PTT Group—to discuss new avenues of investment and collaboration with Malaysia.
The high-level meeting aimed to enhance bilateral economic ties and unlock new opportunities for strategic cooperation. As the incoming Chair of ASEAN in 2025, Malaysia remains committed to reinforcing regional connectivity and building a resilient, inclusive, and people-oriented ASEAN community. The country’s vision includes deepening integration with the global economy and fostering strong relations with neighboring countries such as Thailand.
Prime Minister Anwar emphasized Malaysia’s strong investment appeal for Thai businesses, particularly in high value-added sectors including electrical and electronics (E&E), electric vehicles (EVs), chemicals, the digital economy, renewable energy, aerospace, and pharmaceuticals. These areas are central to Malaysia’s national strategies, notably the New Industrial Master Plan (NIMP) 2030, the National Semiconductor Strategy, and the Green Investment Strategy.
“Malaysia offers a compelling proposition for Thai investors. We value our partnership with TCC Group, Minor International, and PTT Group, and will continue to support their expansion in Malaysia,” said Anwar. “This cooperation will not only benefit both our economies but also serve to deepen the bonds of friendship between our nations.”
The meeting is seen as a positive step forward in enhancing Malaysia-Thailand economic collaboration and aligns with broader efforts to position ASEAN as a globally integrated and forward-looking region.
