TUMPAT, Feb 18 — The Home Ministry is currently engaged in finalising the new border crossing between Malaysia and Indonesia following the development of Indonesia’s new capital city, Nusantara, in Kalimantan.
Its minister, Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said the new border crossing is among the matters discussed by both countries under the Cross Border Agreement ."The Home Ministry will now be involved in finalising the CBA that we hope will be settled soon,” he told reporters after inspecting the Pengkalan Kubor Immigration, Customs, Quarantine and Security Complex here today.
During the visit, he took the opportunity to view the border controls along Sungai Golok that acts as the country’s border with neighbouring Thailand."We will identify the ‘point to point’ crossing on our side and the Indonesian’s side, how wide an area we will cover under the agreement and the categories of residents .
"In terms of the scheduling, tentatively, Indonesian president Jokowi’s official visit to Malaysia this year will include the signing of the agreement,” he added. — Bernama
