Malaysian King Al-Sultan Abdullah to visit Türkiye

The special aircraft carrying Their Majesties took off from the Bunga Raya Complex, Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) here, at about 10am.

“King of Malaysia Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah Ibni Almarhum Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Al-Musta’in Billah will pay a state visit to Türkiye between 15-21 August, 2022 at the invitation of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan,” the Turkish presidency said in a statement. “High level talks with Malaysia have gained momentum within the context of our relations, which get stronger and stronger in almost every area on the basis of friendship, mutual trust and the interests of our respective peoples. In this framework, the relations between Türkiye and Malaysia were raised to the level of “Comprehensive Strategic Partnership” during Malaysian Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Bin Yaakob’s visit to Türkiye last July.”

“The visit, during which King Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah will be accompanied by Queen Tunku Hajah Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah Almarhum Almutawakkil Alallah Sultan Iskandar Al-Haj, will be the first visit from Malaysia to Türkiye at the Head of State level after nearly 30 years and will crown our bilateral relations,” the presidency added.
