KUALA LUMPUR -- Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim will visit India this week for the first time since taking office in 2022, a trip that analyst say is a strategic move for Malaysia to realign its position on the global stage.

Anwar will stay in the South Asian country from Monday to Wednesday at the invitation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, according to the Indian Ministry of External Affairs. The last visit by a Malaysian head of government was in 2018 by former Prime Minister Najib Razak.
