Congress Party president Rahul Gandhi after the culmination of his Singapore-Malaysia tour took to Twitter to thank Malaysia’s Prime Minister Najib Razak for the “extremely cordial meeting”.

Gandhi in a tweet said, “On my recent visit to Malaysia, I had an extremely cordial meeting with the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Najib Razak. I thank him and Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, the First Lady of Malaysia, for their gracious hospitality”.

Earlier, Gandhi in a tweet had expressed his “sincere gratitude” to the people in Singapore and Malaysia for making his visit a “memorable one”.

On Saturday, Congress President Rahul Gandhi met business executives of Indian origin in Malaysia and said he “valued actionable solutions over rhetoric”.

He also assured them that “their interests will be suitably addressed in his party’s manifesto”.

Gandhi met the business executives of the Malaysia India Business Council, Asean India Business Council, Malaysian Associated Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Consortium of Indian Industries in Malaysia.

Businessmen who met Gandhi said that the Indian community and their interests have been neglected by the Narendra Modi government, the Congress party said in a tweet.

Gandhi also met Subramaniam Sathasivam, president of the Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC) in Kuala Lumpur. Originally a part of the AICC until 1946, the MIC has played a major role in the Malaysian Independence Movement.

During his visit Gandhi also met Tun Samy Vellu, the longest-serving president of the Malaysian Indian Congress at the MIC headquarters in Malaysia.

On Friday, Congress president Rahul Gandhi called on Prime Minister of Singapore Lee Hsien Loong and met other senior leaders of the country.
