"Malaysia is a reliable partner of Russia in the Asia-Pacific region. Russia and Malaysia maintain regular and substantive political dialogue, including through parliaments, ministries, regions and public organizations," Ushakov told reporters. Russia and Malaysia maintain stable trade and economic ties and have established the work of an intergovernmental commission, he added. Russia mainly exports oil and petroleum products, chemical goods, metals, food products and agricultural raw materials to Malaysia, while importing machinery, equipment, vehicles, food products and chemical industry goods, the aide said. Malaysia is also a popular tourist destination for Russians, with around 140,000 Russian tourists visiting the country in 2025, the Kremlin aide said. Ushakov also commented on the relations with Laos, describing President Thongloun Sisoulith as Russia's "long-standing and reliable friend." "President Thongloun Sisoulith received his teaching education in Leningrad, speaks Russian and knows the Russian culture well, and has been awarded the Russian Federation's Order of Friendship and the Order of Alexander Nevsky," Ushakov said. Russia and Laos maintain regular political dialogue, as Laos takes a balanced position in the context of the Ukrainian crisis and demonstrates understanding of the reasons for conducting the special military operation, he added. Russia actively cooperates with both Laos and Malaysia within the framework of Russia's strategic partnership with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, Ushakov said.
