PM Anwar Concludes Jakarta Visit After Meeting With Prabowo

JAKARTA, March 27 — Anwar Ibrahim wrapped up a one-day working visit to Jakarta after holding talks with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto at the Istana Merdeka. The meeting, which began at 4.30 pm local time, took place amid rising geopolitical tensions in West Asia. After the discussions, Prabowo personally accompanied Anwar to Halim Perdanakusuma Airport in a gesture reflecting the close ties between the two nations. Anwar departed Jakarta at about 7.15 pm, concluding his first visit to the Indonesian capital this year. The trip was made at Prabowo’s invitation following a phone conversation between the two leaders on March 23. Both leaders have maintained active engagement, having held five high-level meetings last year, including the 13th Malaysia-Indonesia Annual Consultation held in Jakarta on July 28. In a statement after the meeting, Anwar said Malaysia and Indonesia agreed to step up diplomatic efforts to ease tensions in West Asia, prioritise the protection of civilians, and create room for negotiations aimed at achieving a lasting peace. Amid ongoing global uncertainty, both countries also underscored the importance of strengthening regional unity to maintain peace, stability, and economic resilience. During the nearly two-hour discussion, the leaders highlighted the need to ensure global supply chains and key trade routes, particularly the Strait of Hormuz, remain secure and uninterrupted. -- PHOTO: FB Anwar Ibrahim
