During the working visit, he participated in ministerial discussions on regional food security, sustainable agricultural practices and cooperation among ASEAN member states, while also engaging with the Malaysian High Commission in Singapore on bilateral agricultural initiatives.
The High Commission of Malaysia in Singapore welcomed the Minister for the three-day visit, which centred on his participation in the 48th ASEAN AMAF and Related Meetings. The ministerial sessions were guided by this year’s theme, “Rooted in Partnerships, Growing Our Resilience”, highlighting regional priorities in agriculture and food security.
Discussions during the meetings focused on strengthening regional food security, advancing sustainable agricultural practices and deepening cross-border cooperation among ASEAN member states. These areas were central to the ministerial agenda, reflecting the shared priorities of ASEAN countries in addressing agricultural challenges and supporting resilient food systems.
As part of his official programme, YB Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu attended a dinner hosted in his honour by H.E. Datin Paduka Anizan Siti Hajjar bin Adnin, High Commissioner of Malaysia to Singapore, on 28 October 2026.
