Malaysian PM Anwar Ibrahim Sends Solidarity to Jokowi Over Anak Krakatau Eruption and Forest Fires
Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim called Indonesia's 7th President Joko Widodo on Sunday morning (6/9/2026). Anwar expressed Malaysia's solidarity with the Indonesian people affected by volcanic ash from the eruption of Mount Anak Krakatau and the forest and land fire disaster.
"I express solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Indonesia following the volcanic disaster and the challenges posed by the haze problem," Anwar wrote on his official Instagram account. He sees the relationship between Malaysia and Indonesia not just as neighboring countries, but also as kindred nations with strong historical, cultural, and fraternal ties.
Jokowi thanked him for the concern and prayers offered. Environmental issues and disasters like haze are cross-border matters for both countries, so this attention is part of the neighborly relationship that keeps being built.
