The meeting, described as a \"four-eyed meeting,\" began at 9am with an official welcoming ceremony. Myanmar has been in a two-day official visit, seeking to repatriate its nationals in Malaysia, among other issues. Following the meeting, both leaders held a delegation meeting with several cabinet ministers, including Foreign Minister Mohamad Hasan, Defence Minister Mohamed Khaled Nordin, Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, and Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Johari Abdul Ghani.
