MALAYSIA: Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta will sign a new agreement next
year that enables both countries to share intelligence and keep
tabs on militant activities and international crimes, a report
said on Monday.

Defense Minister Najib Tun Razak was quoted by the official
news agency Bernama as saying the agreement would focus on
coordinated action to tackle militancy, piracy, human smuggling
and firearms.

Najib spoke after opening the 30th meeting of the Malaysia-
Indonesia General Border Committee, or GBC in Kuala Lumpur.
Indonesian Armed Forces Chief Admiral Widodo Adisucipto is

Najib said the new agreement, which would replace the Security
Regulations at Border Districts of Malaysia-Indonesia Agreement
1984, would be drawn up at the 31st GBC meeting in Indonesia next
year. --AP
