Tatarstan's Rustam Minnikhanov met with Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim during his working trip to the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF).
Politicians saw each other in mid-August in Malaysia. At that time, Rustam Minnikhanov led a delegation from Tatarstan.
The political agenda concerned Kuala Lumpur's plans to join BRICS, writes BUSINESS Online.
The priority of relations between the two sides is trade, economic and investment cooperation. In 2023, the trade turnover between them increased 5.5 times, but still remains small - only $61 million.
Together with the head of Tatarstan at the forum came representatives of major Russian companies that can become partners of Malaysia.
Earlier it was reported that Minnikhanov visited a gymnasium in Nizhnekamsk after overhaul and handed over satchels.
