KUALA LUMPUR, May 9 — Malaysia and Qatar held a discussion on bilateral ties, the upcoming second Asean-Gulf Cooperation Council Summit (GCC) and Asean-GCC-China Economic Summit.

The Foreign Ministry said the discussion was held during a courtesy call by the Qatari Foreign Ministry’s Secretary-General Ahmad Hassen Al-Hammadi on Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan in Putrajaya today.

“Both sides discussed on issues of mutual interest touching on the enhancement of bilateral ties as well as on regional and international development,” it said in a Facebook post.

Qatar is a member of the GCC, which also includes Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.

Malaysia will host the 46th Asean Summit, Second Asean-GCC Summit and the inaugural Asean-GCC-China Economic Summit at the end of this month.
