On the show today, we ‘re going to talk about Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Malaysia over the weekend – which has given a fresh momentum to a relationship that’s rooted in history but now rapidly expanding into the future. From semiconductors and digital payments to defence cooperation and Indo-Pacific strategy, India and Malaysia have mapped out an ambitious roadmap under their Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. The visit delivered concrete outcomes across trade, technology, energy, education and security — signalling that this partnership is moving into a more strategic and future-focused phase. So, what are the key takeaways from the two-day official visit of the PM to Malaysia? How does this visit deepen India’s outreach to Southeast Asia and ASEAN? And could this partnership become a platform for collaboration in emerging areas like digital public infrastructure and the semiconductor value chain?
