Kuala Lumpur - The second meeting of the Malaysia-Indonesia Eminent Persons Group (EPG) today paid special attention on the issue of migration between two countries.
Former deputy prime minister Tun Musa Hitam who led the Malaysian delegation, said the EPG would prepare a working paper covering various aspects of the issue for submission to the leaders of both countries.
"On the question of migration, both governments are tackling the issue and ties between the two countries are good. Hence, there is no harm for the EPG to give suggestions.
"And this is an important issue resulting in bad press and causing a lot of problems," he told reporters after chairing the meeting here.
He said two representatives from the Malaysia EPG and their Indonesian counterpart would study the issue and its impact on the Malaysia-Indonesia relations.
