"Both leaders will discuss matters of mutual interest, including the economy, social issues and regional and international politics," he told reporters after a meet-the-people session in Kampung Sungai Seluyut here.
"We want to maintain the close ties with our most important neighbour in Asean. We want to continue to have a conducive climate of understanding with Indonesia which can help strengthen bilateral ties."
Syed Hamid, who is also Kota Tinggi Member of Parliament, said Kuala Lumpur had always been sincere towards Jakarta and did not want any perception of strained relations between the two countries to exist.
He said Malaysia hoped that President Susilo`s visit would contribute to building understanding and cordial ties between the two neighbours.
Efforts to create better understanding between the two countries also included holding discussions between the parliamentarians, media and non-governmental organisations of both countries, he said.
