Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday announced that an Indian Consulate will also be opened soon in Malaysia, bringing the two nations even closer.
PM Modi made the comment after participating in an Indian community reception ‘Selamat Datang Modiji’ in Kuala Lumpur which also saw a special cultural performance by 800 artistes on stage that entered the Malaysian Book of Records as the largest performance of Indian traditional dances in the country.
“Today’s community programme in Kuala Lumpur included an exhibition on the Indian community in Malaysia. The Indian Government’s decision of extending OCI card eligibility to Malaysian citizens of Indian origin up to the 6th generation has caused immense happiness among the diaspora. In the times to come, an Indian consulate will also be opened in Malaysia, thus bringing our nations even closer,” PM Modi posted on X late Saturday evening.
