PARIS, July 4 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today met with Muslims in France, including Grand Mosque of Paris rector Chems-eddine Mohamed Hafiz.

The session was held in conjunction with Anwar’s two-day official visit to France, which began yesterday.

He said the meeting provided an opportunity to strengthen cooperation between Malaysia and Islamic institutions in France, especially in education, the halal industry, interfaith dialogue, and the promotion of universal values such as peace, tolerance, and justice.

“As a gesture of brotherhood, I presented a special edition of the Quran, along with 10 additional copies in French translation,” he said.

“After the meeting, my delegation and I also performed Friday prayers with the Muslim community here,” he said in a statement.
