President Prabowo Subianto arrived in Kuala Lumpur on Thursday morning for a one-day working visit to Malaysia.
The special aircraft carrying President Prabowo and his delegation landed at the Bunga Raya Complex, Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) at 10.15 am.
Prabowo, who was greeted on arrival by Foreign Minister Mohamad Hasan and Indonesian Ambassador to Malaysia Hermono, then inspected a guard of honour mounted by 28 officers and members of the First Battalion of the Royal Ranger Regiment (Ceremony) led by Captain Raja Azri Syahir.
Prabowo is scheduled to hold a meeting with Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, which will then be followed by a private lunch, before departing for home this afternoon.
This is Prabowo's first working visit to Malaysia since assuming the post in October last year.
Malaysian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a statement on Thursday, stated that the meeting between Prabowo and Anwar is expected to focus on bilateral cooperation and explore the potential of new cooperation to strengthen the relationship between the two countries.
The visit reflected the special relationship between Malaysia and Indonesia which is supported by strong cooperation in various fields including economy, socio-culture, defence and security.
"With Malaysia taking over the role as Asean Chairman this year, the two leaders are expected to exchange views on efforts to strengthen Asean Community Building, regional cooperation and address global challenges," according to the statement.
Malaysia officially assumed the position of Asean Chairman starting this month under the theme 'Inclusion and Sustainability'.
