Indonesian President Joko Widodo and his wife, Iriana, left for Brunei at 8.45am from the Bunga Raya Complex, KL International Airport (KLIA) in Sepang today after completing his three-day maiden state visit to Malaysia since Thursday.

    

Present at the Bunga Raya Complex to send Joko - or fondly known as Jokowi - off were Foreign Minister Anifah Aman, Women, Family and Community Development Minister Rohani Abdul Karim, Home Minister and the Minister-in-Attendance Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and Malaysia's ambassador to Indonesia, Zahrain Mohamed Hashim.

    

Malaysia is the first country visited by Jokowi since he took office as the Indonesian president on Oct 20 last year.

Jokowi's maiden state visit to Malaysia was at the invitation of Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Abdul Halim Mu'adzam Shah.

     

Among the outcomes of Jokowi's visit were the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between Proton and PT Adiperkasa Citra Lestari yesterday for the development and manufacturing of Indonesia's national car.

    

Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak also had a four-eyed meeting with Jokowi in Putrajaya yesterday. This was followed by a delegation meeting.     

Among the issues agreed by Malaysia and Indonesia from the meetings were appointing a special envoy to undertake exploratory discussions on their maritime boundaries, creating only one channel for Malaysian recruitment of domestic maids from Indonesia and setting up the Indonesian School in Sarawak.    

The school would cater to the educational needs of the children of Indonesian migrant workers in the state.
