Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said he discussed Tesla Inc.’s investments and invited SpaceX to the Southeast Asian country during a virtual meeting with Elon Musk.

“I welcome the company’s interest and investment decisions in Malaysia as well as Elon Musk’s willingness to come to Malaysia,” Anwar said in a statement Friday issued after the call that lasted about 25 minutes. Musk is chief executive officer of both Tesla and SpaceX.
