Jakarta (ANTARA) - Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto and Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim are scheduled to meet again in Indonesia this July to continue discussions on key bilateral issues.

Their meeting at Merdeka Palace in Jakarta on Friday served as a precursor to more detailed and technical talks.

During a joint press conference, President Prabowo expressed hope that the upcoming meeting in July would mark progress in resolving longstanding issues between the two nations.

“We will hold an annual meeting in July, which we hope can serve as momentum for the technical resolution of several issues,” he said.

Prime Minister Anwar described his visit as “actually unofficial,” saying it was aimed at addressing both current and bilateral matters.

Earlier on Friday, President Prabowo welcomed Anwar at Halim Perdanakusuma Air Base in Jakarta. The two then traveled together to Merdeka Palace, where they held a private meeting lasting nearly an hour.
