Despite Pak Pressure, Malaysia Warmly Welcomed Indian Delegation: BJP MP Hemang Joshi To NDTV | Read

In a major diplomatic success for India, Malaysia extended a warm and official welcome to an Indian parliamentary delegation despite behind-the-scenes pressure from Pakistan, said BJP MP Dr Hemang Joshi in an exclusive conversation with NDTV after returning from a five-nation visit.

Dr Joshi, part of the multi-party delegation that toured Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Indonesia, and Malaysia, revealed that Pakistan made indirect attempts to derail the Malaysian leg of the tour, but failed to achieve any disruption.

"We had ten programmes scheduled in Malaysia and completed all of them as planned," he said. "Despite it being a national holiday on the King's birthday, we were able to meet the Malaysian Speaker and leaders from all major political parties."
