PM Modi's Malaysia visit to boost ties, focus on payments
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is visiting Malaysia on February 7-8 to boost ties and sign a game-changing digital payments deal.
India's NPCI and Malaysia's PayNet will team up, set to sign an agreement on digital payments.
More than just payments
This visit isn't just about payments. India and Malaysia are also looking at possible memorandums of understanding on semiconductors, disaster management, healthcare, and more.
Modi will meet the huge Indian community in Malaysia (almost 3 million strong) and connect with business leaders at the CEOs's Forum.
With $20 billion in annual trade already between these countries—and with UPI among the topics being discussed—this trip could mean smoother travel, better tech opportunities, and closer links for students, tourists, and young professionals from both sides.
