PUTRAJAYA – Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has lauded the foreign ministry for enhancing Malaysia’s international reputation and influence, attributing its success to the dedication of Wisma Putra staff. Speaking on his experiences abroad, Anwar acknowledged the ministry’s increasing responsibilities and expressed appreciation for its efforts despite mounting challenges.
Under the leadership of Foreign Minister Mohamad Hasan, also known as Tok Mat, Wisma Putra has played a crucial role in promoting Malaysia’s policies and vision on the global stage. Anwar highlighted the minister’s ability to foster strong diplomatic ties, noting the high attendance at an iftar gathering hosted by Mohamad.
“No joke—when I invite, not all ambassadors show up. But when the foreign minister invites, I see an overwhelming presence. That reflects the strength and influence of both our foreign minister and the ministry,” Anwar remarked.
