Malaysia-Indonesia ties at best ever level

Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi regards the Malaysia-Indonesia ties being at its most excellent and extraordinary level when issues are solved via discussions.

He said Malaysia was committed to boost further the bilateral ties and was prepared to cooperate with Indonesia which was campaigning to get a non-ermanent member's seat on the United Nations Security Council.

"The Malaysia-Indonesia cooperation will continue to be upgraded for the good of both nations, and ASEAN in general," he told reporters after receiving a courtesy call by outgoing Indonesian Ambassador to Malaysia, Herman Prayitno at his office here today.

Commenting on his meeting with Herman, Ahmad Zahid said he expressed the Malaysian government's satisfaction at the bilateral ties between both countries regarding Indonesia as an important neighbour.

He said the Malaysian government also appreciated Herman's role in ensuring information on Malaysia was accurately reported by the Indonesian media to avoid any controversy and misunderstanding between the two nations.
