JAKARTA: Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi will undertake a three-day official visit to Indonesia starting tomorrow to strengthen bilateral relations between the two countries and expand regional cooperation within ASEAN.
He is scheduled to arrive at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport on Sunday afternoon, before attending a dinner event with the Malaysian community at the Malaysian Embassy Complex in South Jakarta.
Ahmad Zahid will be accompanied by Agriculture and Food Security Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu, Malaysia’s Permanent Representative to ASEAN Datin Sarah Al Bakri Devadason, as well as senior officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the National Disaster Management Agency (NADMA).
Malaysia’s Ambassador to Indonesia Datuk Syed Mohamad Hasrin Tengku Hussin said the visit marks the first official trip by a high-ranking Malaysian leader to Indonesia this year following the formation of the country’s new government.
He said the visit will focus on disaster management, Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), economic cooperation, development of the halal industry and food security to deepen collaboration between the two nations.
“This visit follows up on agreements made by the leaders of both countries previously. We hope it will further enhance bilateral relations, especially for Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s portfolio.
