Chatkaphat Bunnag from the Thai Foreign Ministry's Media Bureau noted that the summit meeting will be held at the Shangri La Hotel in Singapore on Saturday from 2 pm to 3 pm local time.
Bunnag said Thailand, the coordinator of the 11th IMT-GT Summit, raised the theme of connectivity within the region of the three countries in addition to other growth issues, such as financial inclusion and banking access.
IMT-GT is an ASEAN sub-regional group aimed at enhancing economic development in 32 regions in three countries, comprising 10 provinces in Indonesia, eight states in northern Malaysia, and 14 provinces in southern Thailand.
Earlier, on Friday night, Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi noted at a press briefing that the meeting of Jokowi, Thai Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, and Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak will focus more on economic issues.
In addition to attending the 11th IMT-GT Summit, Jokowi will be present at the opening of the 32nd ASEAN Summit and the ASEAN Leaders Retreat Meeting to discuss regional and international issues.
Jokowi will also attend a luncheon hosted by Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and later attend bilateral meetings with Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc.
