Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono is scheduled to arrive here tomorrow for a two-day visit during which he will attend the 7th annual consultation between Indonesia and Malaysia and the 6th World Islamic Economic Forum (WIEF).

Wisma Putra, in a statement today, said Susilo is scheduled to meet with Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak tomorrow at the annual consultation, where they will discuss issues of mutual interest.

The meeting is aimed at enhancing and strengthening friendship and bilateral cooperation.

"Bilateral relations between Malaysia and Indonesia at all levels have always been close and warm.

"Both countries have been cooperating closely in various fields such as trade, investment, education, defence, culture and

security through various level working groups such as the Joint Commission Meeting (JCM) and the Malaysia-Indonesia Socio-Economic Working Committee.

"Existing bilateral mechanisms established by both countries to enhance bilateral ties and cooperation, such as the annual consultation, have helped in enhancing cooperation between Malaysia and Indonesia," the statement said.

Susilo will attend the WIEF on Wednesday before returning to Jakarta later in the day.
