Federal authorities demonstrate their dedication to state participation by engaging Sarawak Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg and Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor in the 13th Malaysia-Indonesia Annual Consultation. Deputy Foreign Minister Datuk Mohamad Alamin emphasized this involvement reflects a comprehensive governmental strategy for addressing border matters, particularly those affecting the Sulawesi Sea region. The ministry maintains continuous partnerships with relevant stakeholders when addressing Malaysia's maritime boundary questions. Officials base all maritime border discussions on established legal and technical foundations while conducting thorough and responsible evaluations of proposed solutions. Government representatives always perform detailed assessments before accepting any recommendations.
Parliamentary discussions addressed educational access through Community Learning Centres in Sabah and cross-border commerce between the two nations. Water trade between Sabah and Indonesia represents another significant topic during these bilateral conversations. Mohamad Alamin responded to inquiries about Indonesian businessman Mohd Riza Chalid, who faces corruption investigations related to PT Pertamina crude oil management from 2018 to 2023. Malaysia maintains its position that no individual receives protection during legal proceedings. The government prioritizes maintaining national integrity while strengthening cooperative relationships with Indonesia.
