Paris: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has congratulated national mixed doubles pair Chen Tang Jie-Toh Ee Wei on their title win at the 2025 Badminton World Championships in Paris tonight. He also described the victory as a National Day gift for Malaysia.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, in a final held at the Adidas Arena, the world’s fourth-ranked pair defeated second seeds Jiang Zhen Bang-Wei Ya Xin 21-15 in the first game. They continued to hold off the Chinese pair’s fightback in the second game, sealing a 21-14 victory to deliver Malaysia’s first-ever mixed doubles title at the World Championships in 40 minutes of thrilling play.

The historic victory ends a nearly two-decade wait for the world title, with Malaysia’s previous best-ever achievement in mixed doubles being a semi-final appearance by Koo Kien Keat-Wong Pei Tty at the 2006 edition in Madrid, Spain.
