Anwar credits civil service for 'remarkably' successful Germany visit

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has hailed his recent visit to Germany as a remarkable success, attributing it to the teamwork of the public service.

Anwar, who is also finance minister, said the achievement was the result of collaborative efforts of various departments, the Investment, Trade and Industry Ministry and the Foreign Ministry, which made early preparations. 

“Investors perceived us to be much more efficient, quick in decision-making, and without any leakage. I also met several major companies that agreed to invest immediately.

“Their views on the government’s policies, leadership and civil servants were highly positive. 

“I would like to take this opportunity, through the Chief Secretary to the Government Mohd Zuki Ali, to express gratitude and pride in serving with such a public service because the impact and response have been remarkable,” he said in his speech during a gathering with staff of the Prime Minister Department today. 

On Saturday, Anwar said his six-day official visit to Germany has strengthened the close friendship between the two countries.
