Malaysia and Indonesia will not let petty issues raised by certain quarters to sour ties between the two nations but will instead further the work to strengthen the already close bilateral ties, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said Thursday, Malaysian state news agency Bernama has reported.
Speaking at a joint media conference with visiting Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, Razak said Malaysia appreciated the presence of foreign workers especially Indonesians in the country.
However, if they broke Malaysian laws, they would have to face the laws of the land, he added.
Meanwhile, Yudhoyono said he chose Malaysia as the first country to visit since his re-election as the Indonesian president because Malaysia is a friend, a neighbor and a strong partner in the development of the race.
