JAKARTA, Sept. 11 (UPI) -- The foreign ministers for Indonesia and Malaysia will meet in Jakarta next week to talk about conflicts between the two Asian countries, an official says.

Indonesian Foreign Ministry spokesman Teuku Faizasyah said Malaysian Foreign Minister Anifah Aman and Indonesian Foreign Minister Hassan Wirajuda will meet in the Indonesian capital Thursday, The Jakarta Post reported Friday.

Anifah's call for the meeting came days after several ultra-nationalists sought out Malaysian nationals to harass in Jakarta, Teuku said.

"We consider this as a regular working visit by the Malaysian foreign minister to foster bilateral relations, but we do get the impression that the visit was prompted by the recent flag-burning and 'sweeping' incidents here," the ministry spokesman said.

The Jakarta Post said the Indonesian government has assured Malaysia it will protect all foreigners, including Malaysian nationals, living in Indonesia.
