"President Yudhoyono`s main agenda during the visit to Malaysia is about the issue of Indonesian migrant workers in the country and to meet Nirmala Bonat," Andi said, adding that Yudhoyono would ask for serious attention from Malaysian government to the protection of Indonesian migrant workers in the country.
Andi said Malaysia should protect Indonesian workers there as Indonesia also protects Malaysians and other foreigners.
"The state`s responsibility is to protect all Indonesians at home and abroad," Andi said.
