Salam Sejahtera dan Salam 1Malaysia •Special Coverage by OKEZONE MedMedia Malaysia and Indonesia has a comprehensive and multifaceted coopera- tion. Since 1957, the relationship grows from strength to strength, encountered trial and tribulation but managed a smooth sailing then. All of this could not be achieved if the pioneer leaders and diplomats did not have a prescient and strong dedication to see the relationship between the two countries expanding. This year is so wonderful and sig- nificant for marking the 60th Anniversary of diplomatic relationships. I do hope Malaysia and Indonesia will be an even closer neighbour and friends and work together for the benefit of the two countries and its people beyond the 60 years mark from now.

Congratulations dan Salam Serumpun
