SEPANG – Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is expected to announce Malaysia’s ambassador to Indonesia soon.

Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Zambry Abdul Kadir said the candidate’s appointment had been finalised and the process was now in its final stages.

“We are nearing the end of our search for the country’s ambassador to Indonesia. We will be making an announcement soon.

“A ceremony to announce the appointment will be done in Malaysia,” he said in a brief reply during a curtain raiser session in conjunction with the prime minister’s inaugural visit to Indonesia for two days starting tomorrow.
