PHNOM PENH, Feb 24 (NNN-AKP) – Cambodian Prime Minister, Samdech Techo Hun Sen, said here today that, Malaysian Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim, will pay an official visit to the kingdom on Mar 27.
“New Malaysian Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim will make an official visit to Cambodia, and will also attend the Ramadan Iftar (breaking-of-the-fast) dinner,” he said in a speech, during a graduation ceremony at the Royal University of Phnom Penh.
Cambodia is a Buddhism-majority country, however, Hun Sen always gets together with Cambodian Muslims every year, during the Ramadan Iftar dinner.
The Cambodian leader said, it is good that Anwar, the prime minister of a Muslim majority country, will join him in celebrating the Ramadan Iftar dinner in Phnom Penh, saying that, Anwar’s attendance will reflect harmony among people with different religions in Cambodia.
Anwar became the prime minister of Malaysia in Nov last year.
