PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad drove Indonesian President Joko Widodo in a Proton Persona car to a luncheon he hosted at Seri Perdana, the prime minister’s official residence, today.
The two leaders left in the car from the Perdana Putra Building where they had had a four-eyed meeting.
Joko, popularly known as Jokowi, arrived yesterday for a two-day visit to Malaysia. He was accompanied by his wife, Iriana Joko Widodo, and an entourage.
Mahathir drove the red Proton Persona bearing registration number B 2367 A, which was followed by the vehicles carrying the visitors.
It was the second time that Jokowi had been in a Proton car driven by the prime minister.
In February 2015, Mahathir had taken Jokowi on a test drive in a Proton car at the Sepang race circuit. He was the chairman of Proton then.
