Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad took visiting Indonesian President Joko Widodo in a Proton Persona car, which the former drove himself, to a luncheon he hosted at Seri Perdana.

The two leaders left in the car from the Perdana Putra Building where they had had a four-eyed meeting.

Jokowi arrived yesterday for a two-day visit to Malaysia. He was accompanied by his wife, Iriana, and an entourage.

Mahathir drove the red Proton Persona bearing registration number B 2367 A, which was followed by the other vehicles carrying members of the Indonesian entourage.

This is the second time that Jokowi has been in a Proton car driven by Mahathir.

In February 2015, Mahathir had taken Jokowi on a test drive in a Proton car at the Sepang race circuit. He was the chairperson of Proton then.
