Indonesia’s Joko Widodo will visit Washington and the White House on October 26 for a crucial first visit since he became president last year. The trip will be an opportunity for Widodo, who came to power in October last year, to get to know President Barack Obama at a time of geopolitical tension in South East Asia. The visit comes as Obama – who spent part of his childhood in Indonesia – presses for Jakarta to play a bigger role in its region, where there is nervousness about Chinese territorial claims in the South China Sea. The White House says both Obama and Widodo will “discuss plans to expand existing areas of bilateral cooperation.”
