Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim accorded a warm red-carpet welcome to Prime Minister Tarique Rahman on Monday.
Around 8:30 am (local time), Prime Minister Tarique
Rahman and his spouse Zubaida Rahman left the Shangri-La Hotel in a motorcade
and arrived at the Malaysian Prime Minister’s Office, Perdana Putra, in
Putrajaya at 9:00am.
Upon arrival, they were warmly received by Malaysian
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and his spouse, Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan
Ismail.
Following the reception, a smartly turned-out
contingent of the Malaysian Armed Forces presented a guard of honour to Tarique
and Zubaida on the red carpet.
During the ceremony, the national anthems of
Bangladesh and Malaysia were played.
After the welcome ceremony, Tarique introduced the
members of his delegation to the Malaysian prime minister. In the same manner,
his Malaysian counterpart introduced members of his cabinet to the Bangladesh
prime minister.
Following the formal introductions, Prime Minister
Tarique Rahman signed the visitors’ book before entering the building.
Then Anwar Ibrahim accompanied the Bangladesh prime
minister to the fifth floor via elevator, where the two leaders joined a
one-on-one meeting.
Meanwhile, to welcome the Bangladeshi prime minister,
the national flags of Bangladesh and Malaysia were displayed along both sides
of the long road from the airport leading to the Prime Minister’s Office
complex in Putrajaya. In front of the Prime Minister’s Office, the flags of
Malaysia and Bangladesh were also raised in a row at Putrajaya Madani Square.
Tarique arrived in Malaysia on Sunday on a two-day
official visit at the invitation of his Malaysian counterpart Anwar Ibrahim.
