Abstract-This paper suggests that comprehensive partnership could eliminate existing potential conflicts between Indonesia and Malaysia. Involving more non-state actors, promoting non-political, informal, and direct links could strengthen Indonesia-Malaysia relation. Those characteristics of comprehensive partnership would also increase governance in bilateral relations. Therefore, comprehensive partnership could be an effective mode in building sustainable Indonesia-Malaysia relations.
