VIENTIANE, Oct 10 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said Malaysia has requested a reciprocal waiver on visas with Canada.

The request was conveyed to his Canadian counterpart Justin Trudeau during a bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the 44th and 45th Asean Summits and Related Summits here today.

On another matter, Anwar said Malaysia welcomes the establishment of the BlackBerry Cyber Security Centre of Excellence (CCoE) in Cyberjaya, which will strengthen cooperation between the two countries in cyber security.

The CCoE, established on March 26 this year, has the potential to become an international hub for addressing emerging cyber threats.

Anwar also said Malaysia looks forward to the early conclusion of the memorandum of understanding on defence cooperation between the two countries.

The 44th and 45th Asean Summits and Related Summits, which officially began yesterday, will run until tomorrow.

Laos, as 2024 Asean chair for 2024, will hand over chairmanship to Malaysia.

Malaysia will officially hold the position from January 1.
