The Presidential Palace in Jakarta announced Sunday that US President Barack Obama would likely move on with his plan to visit Indonesia, despite a number of international airlines’ canceling of their flights to and from Jakarta in fear of volcanic ashes.
Indonesia presidential spokesman Teuku Faizasyah told The Jakarta Post Obama would arrive at Halim Perdana Kusumah Airport in East Jakarta on Tuesday noon before meeting with President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono at the Presidential Palace in Central Jakarta later on in the afternoon.
Obama will leave Indonesia on the next day.
“So far it is still according to the plan… The two leaders will launch a comprehensive partnership and discuss a number of bilateral, regional and global issues,” Faizasyah said.
“Yes, the meeting with Obama will be held in the afternoon after the President (Yudhoyono)’s meeting with the Austrian President at noon,” he added.
Coinciding with Obama’s visit, Austrian President Heinz Fischer will also visit Indonesia on Tuesday and Wednesday. So far there have been likewise no changes in Fischer’s visit plan.
Faizasyah said Yudhoyono, who as of Sunday evening was still in Yogyakarta to monitor closely the rescue and evacuation efforts of Mount Merapi eruptions’ victims and refugees, would return to Jakarta on Monday ahead of his meetings with the two foreign leaders.
