Indonesian Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka greeted Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi on Thursday at Indonesia's Vice Presidential Palace in Jakarta. The two heads of state warmly embraced upon meeting, with Gibran expressing his delight at Ahmad Zahid's return. Ahmad Zahid conveyed greetings to Gibran from Malaysia's Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.

The visit aimed to bolster bilateral relations and explore new avenues of cooperation between the two nations, a relationship Gibran emphasized as a close and strategic partnership. Ahmad Zahid's current trip follows his previous visit in April, during which he met with President Prabowo Subianto, Indonesian disaster mitigation officials, and participated in launching the ASEAN Unity Drive 2025 at the Malaysian Embassy in Jakarta.
