Kalla meets UMNO leaders

JAKARTA: Golkar Party leader Jusuf Kalla held talks with
executives of Malaysian ruling party UMNO on Friday on ways to
enhance ties between them.

Kalla, who is also the Vice President, was accompanied by
Golkar top executives during the meeting. Malaysian foreign
minister Da'to Seri Syed Hamid Albar led the 40-strong UMNO
delegation during the visit to Indonesia.

Kalla considered the meeting important to improve
relationships not only between the two parties but also between
Indonesia and Malaysia.

"The ties have been there for a long time and will be
developed further," Kalla said, adding that the two parties had
similar experience of running government. -- JP
