PUTRAJAYA: Greater cooperation in fighting the anti-palm oil lobby and better cross-border ties between Kalimantan and Malaysia’s Sabah and Sarawak – were among the main takeaways from Indonesian president Joko Widodo’s visit to Malaysia yesterday.
The two-day visit also saw both neighbours resolving two maritime border disputes – in the Malacca Straits and Sulawesi sea – after nearly two decades of talks.
“We focused more on direct investment and easing investment in the border areas,” Anwar told the joint press conference. In his remarks, Jokowi humorously referred to the talks to resolve the boundary claims between the two nations that had dragged on for 18 years. Jokowi also lauded the cooperation between Malaysia and Indonesia in pushing back against moves by the European Union to block imports of palm oil.
