Anwar arrives in Singapore for Shangri-La dialogue

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has arrived in Singapore for a one-day working visit to participate in the 22nd Shangri-La Dialogue (SLD), the premier defence and security conference in the Asia-Pacific region.

The aircraft carrying Anwar touched down at Singapore Changi Airport at 11.39am.

He will proceed to the Shangri-La Hotel on Orange Grove Road, where he is scheduled to deliver a special address at 2.45pm.

Prior to that, the prime minister is scheduled to receive a courtesy call from United States Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Anwar will also meet Boeing Global president and Boeing Company senior vice-president Brendan Nelson, on the sidelines of the dialogue.

Defence Minister Khaled Nordin has been in Singapore since Friday to attend the dialogue.

The three-day 22nd SLD, which began on Friday, features participation from 47 countries, including 40 ministerial-level delegates, 20 chiefs of defence forces, over 20 senior defence officials, and leading academics from across the region.

During his visit, Anwar will also hold a bilateral meeting with his Singaporean counterpart, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong. The two leaders are expected to review the state of Malaysia-Singapore relations and exchange views on regional and global developments of mutual concern.

Anwar is also scheduled to pay a courtesy call on Singapore President Tharman Shanmugaratnam at the Istana.
