Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib 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. — Bernama
