Prabowo Scheduled to Receive Visit from Malaysian PM Anwar Ibrahim on Friday Afternoon
Jakarta (ANTARA) - President Prabowo Subianto is scheduled to receive a visit from Malaysian Prime Minister (PM) Anwar Ibrahim in Jakarta on Friday afternoon.
Based on information gathered, the meeting between the two national leaders will discuss several matters, including the current geopolitical situation.
“Prime Minister Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim will make a special visit to Jakarta, Republic of Indonesia, on 27 March 2026, at the invitation of the President of the Republic of Indonesia Prabowo Subianto,” stated the Malaysian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Wisma Putra) in Kuala Lumpur on Thursday (26/3).
Wisma Putra revealed that the visit will focus on recent geopolitical developments, particularly the conflict in West Asia and its impact on regional stability and the global economy, including implications for Malaysia and Indonesia.
In addition, Wisma Putra assessed that these latest developments require comprehensive, careful, and coordinated discussions between the two countries to align positions and strengthen strategic cooperation in responding to the situation.
In that context, the meeting between the two leaders is expected to intensify diplomatic efforts to ease tensions and ensure the continuity of global trade routes and supply chains that are crucial for the welfare of the people of both countries.
The meeting will also emphasise the importance of strengthening ASEAN’s role as a united and principled bloc so that the region can act collectively in maintaining peace, preserving regional stability, and protecting economic resilience amid global uncertainties.
Meanwhile, the Traffic Directorate of Polda Metro Jaya has announced that it will implement traffic arrangements by closing several protocol roads in connection with PM Anwar’s visit.
Director of Traffic of Polda Metro Jaya, Senior Commissioner Pol Komarudin, in his statement on Friday, explained that the closures are temporary.
“As with other VVIP security measures, the closures will only occur when the official entourage is passing through,” said Komarudin.
He mentioned that several protocol road sections will undergo arrangements starting at 3:30 PM WIB, namely Jalan Halim Perdanakusuma, Jalan MT Haryono, Jalan Gatot Subroto, Jalan Sudirman, Jalan MH Thamrin, and Jalan Merdeka Barat.
This is not the first time Anwar Ibrahim has visited Jakarta to meet Prabowo. On Tuesday (29/7/2025), President Prabowo held an annual consultation meeting with PM Anwar at the Merdeka Palace in Jakarta.
The warm meeting resulted in several important agreements, ranging from resolving bilateral issues to strengthening ASEAN’s role in maintaining regional stability.
