The commercial aircraft carrying Sihasak and his delegation landed at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) Terminal 1 at 8.40pm.
He was received upon arrival by Prime Minister's Department Chief of Ceremony Datuk Rozainor Ramli.
Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan said yesterday that he would meet Sihasak in Kuala Lumpur tomorrow to discuss efforts to enhance security in southern Thailand, as well as bilateral issues between the two countries.
He said Malaysia had been given the honour by Thailand to serve as a facilitator in negotiations with the parties concerned to help bring about peace in the region.
Mohamad said the meeting would also discuss the best approach to ensure efforts to promote security and peace in southern Thailand could be effectively implemented.
In a statement today, Wisma Putra said Sihasak's visit was part of the regular exchange of high-level visits between Malaysia and Thailand, underscoring the warm, enduring and multifaceted relationship between the two close neighbours and fellow Asean member states.
It said the visit also reflected both countries' commitment to maintaining close consultations and advancing mutually beneficial cooperation across a broad range of areas.
Thailand was Malaysia's sixth-largest trading partner globally and second-largest among Asean member states in 2025, with total trade amounting to RM118.57 billion (US$27.73 billion).
From January to July this year, bilateral trade reached RM85.01 billion (US$21.13 billion), compared with RM66.95 billion (US$16.64 billion) during the same period last year, reflecting continued growth in economic ties between the 2 countries. - NST
