Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir was in Jakarta last week for an introductory visit as Malaysia’s new Foreign Minister and to prepare for Anwar’s visit. Zambry met his counterpart, Retno Marsudi, and identified issues that could be raised when the two national leaders meet in Bogor tomorrow. One of the bilateral issues still on the table is the hiring of maids from Indonesia and the use of the official channel to bring them in.
In 2018 Malaysia and Indonesia agreed to joint technical proposals in the territorial sea boundary in Sulawesi and in the southern part of the Strait of Malacca. The joint Malaysia-Indonesia boundary committee on the demarcation and survey of the international boundary between Sabah and Sarawak and Indonesia’s North Kalimantan and West Kalimantan are still being worked on.
Jokowi, who was the first foreign leader to congratulate Anwar after he was sworn in as Prime Minister on Nov 24, said he believes that with Anwar at the helm, bilateral relations between Indonesia and Malaysia would be more prosperous.
