KUALA LUMPUR (Feb 6): Malaysia and Indonesia have agreed in principle to implement the Reciprocal Green Lane (RGL) scheme or known in Indonesia as corridor travel arrangement to enhance bilateral trade.
Foreign Affairs Ministry secretary-general Datuk Seri Muhammad Shahrul Ikram Yaakob said, however, that a follow-up was required to fine-tune the standard operating procedures (SOPs) involved.
“A follow-up is necessary as far as Malaysia is concerned on tightening the existing SOPs. The scheme will be implemented once Malaysian and Indonesian health authorities deem it appropriate,” he said in an interview via skype on Bernama TV ‘s noon bulletin today.
He said the RGL is not open to all as it is only to facilitate travel for government officials and investors from both countries, and to enhance trade particularly in regard to high-value dealers.
