KUALA LUMPUR: His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia, conferred the the Darjah Kerabat Johor Yang Amat Dihormati I (The Most Esteemed Order of the Johor Royal I) to Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto on Monday (Jan 27).

According to a post on the King’s official Facebook page, the investiture of the order was held at Istana Negara and was witnessed by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

"His Excellency President Prabowo is a close friend of His Majesty, whom he has known for over 40 years, since their military training days in the United States in the 1980s,” the post read.

Earlier, Prabowo, who arrived here early Monday morning for a state visit at the invitation of Sultan Ibrahim, was accorded a full state welcome at Istana Negara.

The visit is the first state visit by a foreign Head of State since the installation of His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim as King of Malaysia and also the first state visit by Prabowo to a Southeast Asian country since his inauguration as President of the Republic of Indonesia on Oct 20 last year.
