"The departure of the President was immediately released by Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim," the official broadcast of the Press and Information Bureau (BPMI) of the Presidential Secretariat was reported by ANTARA, Thursday, January 9.
The Presidential Secretariat in the same official broadcast also said that the moment for President Prabowo's release by PM Anwar at the airport also showed a close friendship between Indonesian and Malaysian leaders.
In several photos shared by the Presidential Secretariat, PM Anwar escorted President Prabowo right in front of the presidential plane. The two of them walked hand in hand on the red carpet which was held right in front of the plane's stairs.
President Prabowo then greeted PM Anwar before boarding the plane. The President also greeted several Indonesian representative officials in Malaysia, namely the Indonesian Ambassador to Malaysia Datuk Indera Hermono, and the Indonesian Defense Attache to Malaysia Brigadier General Winarno.
The Indonesian representative group in Malaysia also previously welcomed the President's arrival at Kuala Lumpur International Airport on Thursday morning.
In Kuala Lumpur, President Prabowo was visited by PM Anwar Ibrahim at the Tangsi House, a restaurant that occupies one of the historic buildings in Malaysia. President Prabowo and PM Anwar, while enjoying lunch, also held a one-on-one meeting at the Tangsi House.
The two, as conveyed by the Palace, discussed strategic issues, including the increase in cooperation between the two countries.
The meeting between PM Anwar and President Prabowo at the Tangsi House lasted for several hours. The entire series of events in the room was closed to the media.
The Tangsi house is often PM Anwar's choice to entertain state guests who visit Kuala Lumpur, both for state visits and private visits. PM Anwar on Monday (6/1) also hosted Singaporean Prime Minister Lawrence Wong at night at the Tangsi House.
The historic building is located on Jalan Tangsi No. 10, Tasik Perdana Park, Kuala Lumpur. The Tangsi house, which was built in 1903 '1907, was once the residence of Loke Chow Kit, one of the leading figures in Malaysia in the early 20th Century.
From Kuala Lumpur, information gathered from several sources stated that the President had left for Jakarta. However, the Palace has not issued an official statement or confirmed the information.
