Minister of African Integration and Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Senegal Yassine Fall will undertake an official visit to Malaysia from 11 to 12 August 2025.

The two Foreign Ministers are expected to take stock of progress on bilateral cooperation, with particular emphasis on enhancing collaboration in key areas such as trade and economy, education, health, the halal industry, and capacity building. Both Foreign Ministers are also expected to discuss and exchange views on regional and international issues of mutual interest, including developments in the Middle East and West Africa.

In the course of her visit, Foreign Minister Yassine Fall is also scheduled to meet with Minister of Plantation and Commodities Datuk Seri Johari bin Abdul Ghani; and the Deputy Minister of Investment, Trade and Industry and Deputy Minister of Religious Affairs.

Malaysia and Senegal established diplomatic relations in 1986 and have since maintained cordial and constructive ties through cooperation at both bilateral and multilateral platforms. The visit by Foreign Minister Yassine Fall is anticipated to further reinforce this enduring and growing partnership.
