US President Biden Congratulates Anwar Over Malaysia’s Inspiring Democracy in GE15

Following his appointment as the 10th Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was soon after flooded with congratulatory messages from leaders all over the world.

Although it has been quite a while since the results of the 15th General Election (GE15) last November, it seems that the congratulatory messages have not stopped.

Recently, Anwar Ibrahim took to social media to reveal that he had received a congratulatory message from United States (US) President Joe Biden, who commended Malaysia’s inspiring democracy in GE15.

Anwar said that the US President also expressed commitment to deepen its relations with Malaysia including in the areas of digital economy, climate crisis, and energy security.

“I look forward to working closely with him (Biden) for the mutual benefit of our people.”

In Biden’s note dated January 24, he said as democracies around the world face unprecedented challenges, Malaysia’s election demonstrated that democracies can deliver.

“Millions of Malaysians stepped up and made their voices heard – casting their ballots in the general election, many for the first time,” he wrote.

“Civic engagement is the cornerstone of free and open societies and Malaysians have inspired people around the world with their commitment to exercising their fundamental freedom.”

Biden also pointed out that the relationship between both countries was built on a strong foundation of the ever-growing economy, security and people-to-people ties which have also helped strengthen freedom, security and prosperity.

“In the years ahead, I look forward to deepening our partnership even further – including working together to build inclusive economic growth and resilient supply chains through the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework.”

“Together, we can advance a free, open, secure and prosperous region – one that benefits both of our people,” he added.
