Pelosi Statement on Congressional Delegation Visit to Malaysia

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued this statement on the Congressional delegation's visit to Malaysia:

"Today, our Congressional delegation was honored to be received by Prime Minister Ismail Sabri and Foreign Minister Saifuddin. We engaged in wide-ranging discussion on advancing our shared goals for a free and secure Indo-Pacific.

"The Prime Minister's meeting followed an inter-parliamentary exchange presided over by Speaker of the Malaysian Parliament Azhar Harun. The discussion included security challenges, economic opportunities and governance priorities.

"In each of our meetings, we extended an appreciation for Malaysia's vote at the United Nations on Russia's aggression and their leadership in ASEAN on repudiating Burma for its deadly crackdown on dissent.

"Our governance conversations centered on integrity in government, addressing the climate crisis and fighting COVID.

"We agreed to continue collaborating on our shared security interests, economic priorities, trade, human trafficking and climate issues.

"The visit was very productive, and we thank Ambassador Brian D. McFeeters and the Embassy staff for making it so."
