Indonesia president scheduled to meet US counterpart this month

Indonesia’s President Joko Widodo is scheduled to meet US President Joe Biden this month, “most likely” at the White House, a spokesperson for the Southeast Asian country’s foreign ministry has said.

According to Reuters, the date of the meeting was unclear. Jokowi, as the president is known, is scheduled to attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in San Francisco from Nov 15-17.

Earlier today, Jokowi, leader of the world’s largest secular Muslim-majority country, said Indonesia’s support for Palestine would “never waver”.

Indonesia has joined a chorus of international condemnation of Israel’s invasion of Gaza following Hamas’ attack on Israel on Oct 7, and has called for an immediate ceasefire.
