Dr. Muhammad Khan (IR Expert): The visit of the Malaysian Prime Minister with a high level delegation to Pakistan is very welcoming keeping in view the current global scenario. This visit will send a clear message to the world that there is a huge investment potential in Pakistan. The Pak-Malaysia relations are strong from the very start and strengthen with the passage of time. Moreover, Malaysia is an important country of the Muslim world and can play an influential role in defusing the tensions in the Middle East. It is the time that Pakistan and Malaysia must urge the Muslim world to stand united against the propagandas against the Muslim across the globe. Malaysia is having a strong stance on the Palestine and Kashmir dispute and supports the narrative of Pakistan in this regard. I am hopeful that the leadership of both the countries will release a joint statement over the current Gaza situation.

Dr. Talat Anwar (Economist): The visit of the Malaysian Prime Minister to Pakistan is of vital importance. Malaysia is a brother country that developed itself at a fast speed. The Malaysian government heavily invested in human resource development. In the era of 60s, Malaysia was behind Pakistan economically but because of liberal policies and market-oriented policies. Malaysia is going to be an investment hub. Malaysia can support Pakistan in commercial technology to uplift the economy of our country. We must be hopeful that the Malaysian Prime Minister during the visit will sign certain MoUs and agreements for stabilizing the economy.

Dr. Noor Fatima (Economist): Malaysia is an important Islamic country and shares lot of values and culture with Pakistan. Malaysia is the country that brought itself out of the economic crisis. Malaysia is a big market for Pakistani rice whereas Malaysia is a big producer of palm oil. The foreign policy of Pakistan is focused on to strengthen bilateral and trade relations with other countries particularly the Muslim countries. It is good development that the incumbent government is looking for new markets of trade and modern technology. The Malaysian Prime Minister is accompanying a high level delegation and many agreements are expected to be signed between the two countries. These agreements will definitely include Malaysian investment in different sectors. There is a huge potential of trade between the countries and n\both countries need to take advantage of it. Pakistan has a youth bulge and Malaysia can support Pakistan in technology transformation.
