KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 10 — Malaysia's King, Sultan Ibrahim, has approved the conferring of the Darjah Utama Seri Mahkota Negara (Grand Cordon of the Order of the Crown of the Realm) to Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi. The prestigious award reflects Malaysia's recognition of El-Sisi's role in fostering diplomatic ties between the two nations.
The Darjah Utama Seri Mahkota Negara ranks among Malaysia's most distinguished national honours, typically bestowed upon foreign leaders and dignitaries who have made significant contributions to the country's international relations or demonstrated exemplary service to the realm.
The conferring of this honour underscores the strengthening partnership between Malaysia and Egypt, two important nations in their respective regions. Both countries have sought to deepen cooperation across multiple sectors, including trade, defence, and cultural exchange.
El-Sisi's receipt of the award comes amid ongoing efforts to enhance Malaysia-Egypt relations at both bilateral and multilateral levels, particularly within regional and international forums where both nations actively participate.
