Anwar's official trip to Saudi Arabia marred by failure to meet crown ... (MalaysiaNow)

This is in contrast with the 2021 visit by Muhyiddin Yassin where he held talks with Mohammed bin Salman.

A Bernama report said he was greeted on arrival by the city's governor. He said Anwar did not even have to show that he was frendlier to the Saudis than previous Malaysian leaders by raising the issue of the closure of a Saudi-backed centre in 2018. In April last year, MalaysiaNow reported that a communication blunder by top diplomats at the Malaysian embassy in the United Arab Emirates resulted in a lack of official presence to greet then prime minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob, who was to attend a major trade expo. "But the fact that Anwar went on an official visit to Saudi Arabia, and that too to fulfil an invitation by MBS, only to be told that MBS was not able to meet because he had changed his plans, is nothing less than a major embarrassment," said the same diplomat. Anwar also said that he could not stay longer as he had to attend an iftar (breaking of fast) event with the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, and make an official one-day trip to Cambodia. "A meeting with MBS would have been the highlight of any visit by a Malaysian prime minister, especially if it is considered an official visit," said a former Malaysian diplomat who served in various capitals in the Middle East, referring to the Saudi crown prince by his initials.

Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim leaves Madinah (Arab News)

MADINAH: Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim on Saturday left Madinah after visiting the Prophet's Mosque, where he performed prayers.

India and Saudi Arabia are in a unique position to benefit from mutual investments depending on our strengths,” Sayeed told Arab News on Friday. Nothing in the store is going to be thrown away; everything is going to be reused — even the wayfinding flags; we are actually taking them and making tote bags out of them for next year,” she said. “It might even develop into an institutional mechanism for trade and commerce between the two nations.” “It’s the first Islamic Arts Biennale and to have the date on it to commemorate it was really important. This would be the fastest, greenest, and most enjoyable way to get around.” A lot of people in the Kingdom don’t know the value of these books. “The idea of this collaboration is that the Diriyah Foundation wants to open a platform to support digital artists. So I wanted to recreate that, but give a bit of a retro-wave design,” he told Arab News. It aims to have something for everyone — and allow them to take a bit of the Biennale’s “Awwal Bait” (First House) theme back home with them. The store prioritizes collaborating with brands that focus on sustainability, and many of the over 620 items are rare and custom-made. It was always meant to be a pop-up shop, which is perhaps part of the allure. “We didn’t want to just do merchandise this year; we wanted to really enhance this idea of collaboration.”
