KOTA TINGGI: Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, who will be on a working visit to Malaysia from Jan 10-12, will be conferred the highest state award by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.
Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar said the conferment ceremony would be held at Istana Negara on Thursday.
Susilo and Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi would take the opportunity to hold their annual discussions, he told reporters after a meet-the-people session in Kampung Sungai Seluyut here.
Asked about the status of discussions between both countries regarding the dispute over the Ambalat territorial waters believed to be rich in oil and gas, Syed Hamid said it would take a long time to be resolved.
“What is important is for both countries to agree to solve it amicably,” he said.
