US ambassador congratulates Anwar

KUALA LUMPUR: The United States embassy has congratulated Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on his appointment as Malaysia's 10th prime minister.

Ambassador Brian D. McFeeters said the embassy in Kuala Lumpur would always look forward to continuing to strengthen the relationship between Malaysia and the US.

"I am looking forward to continuing to strengthen these two countries' strategic partnership under your leadership," he tweeted.

Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has been sworn in as the country's 10th prime minister.

He took his oath before the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah, at 5 pm, ending his over two-decade wait to be appointed to the country's top post.
