Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has congratulated newly elected Prime Minister of Malaysia Anwar bin Ibrahim, reports BSS.
In a letter written to her new Malaysian counterpart, Sheikh Hasina said, "On behalf of the Government and the People of Bangladesh and my behalf, I extend the heartiest congratulations to you on your assumption of office as the Prime Minister of Malaysia."
"Your election to this high office is a clear testimony and a manifestation of trust and confidence by the Malaysian people in your visionary leadership, wisdom, and long-time sacrifices for your country," she said.
She continued, "I am confident that under your charismatic stewardship, Malaysia will continue to thrive with greater prosperity in the days ahead."
Sheikh Hasina mentioned that the year 2022 is a special year for Bangladesh-Malaysia friendship as both countries are celebrating the 50th anniversary of establishing diplomatic relations.
She gratefully recalled that Malaysia was one of the first Muslim-majority countries to recognize Bangladesh in early 1972.
Sheikh Hasina kept trust that the existing multi-dimensional relationship will grow forth from strength to strength under the dynamic leadership of Anwar bin Ibrahim.
She is looking forward to working closely with the new Malaysian Prime Minister on mutual interests in the bilateral, regional, and global context to benefit the two nations.
Hasina wished Anwar bin Ibrahim good health, long life, happiness and peace, progress and prosperity for the brotherly people of Malaysia.
