Malaysia's Prime Minister's Office has released a highlight reel of Prime Minister Tarique Rahman's first state visit set to the Bangladeshi song “Moha Jadu”, racking up more than 900,000 views in three and a half hours.
The video was posted around 9am on Tuesday on Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's Facebook page, drawing an immediate wave of attention.
The 2-minute 40-second clip covers the two leaders' bilateral meeting, a luncheon and cultural programmes, with Habib Wahid and Mehrnigari Rustam's song “Amar Bondhu Moha Jadu Jane” playing throughout.
At one point the video cuts to a key moment from the talks where Anwar addresses the Rohingya crisis.
"Through our common effort, we will work to resolve the predicament of Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh and also here," Anwar says in the clip.
"[We will] engage through ASEAN mechanisms with the Myanmar authorities to resolve part of the issue.”
“Moha Jadu” plays in the background as Anwar makes those remarks.
Coke Studio Bangla describes the song as a blend of Baul mysticism and Persian poetry, written by lyricist Khwaja Mia, a disciple of Baul saint Durbin Shah.
The programme said the song "has become a new melody for expressing love and feeling -- one that transcends time and borders to weave a magical tale of love”.
Tarique arrived in Malaysia on Sunday for his first state visit, four months after forming a government with an outright majority in the February election.
After wrapping up his two-day visit, the prime minister flew to the Chinese city of Dalian on Monday night.
At a joint press conference in Putrajaya, Malaysia's administrative capital, Anwar spoke warmly of his ties to the Zia family.
“And we are fortunate because we have known your late father and mother,” he told Tarique.
“And I told him about my first experience in one session when I was still a youth leader meeting the father in the Mouchak camp and of course, with your late mother quite a number of times in bilateral meetings as I was then the deputy prime minister.”
“And more than that, I mean brother Tarique Rahman and his family have endured hardships, struggles for being consistent in his ideals to defend the freedom and progress of his people in his country, for whom he deeply love,” he added.
