U.S. President Obama to visit Indonesia this year

US President Barack Obama is planning to visit Indonesia this year, the state-run news agency reported Friday quoting Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. Yudhoyono said Obama -- who went to primary school in the Indonesian capital Jakarta from 1967 to 1971 -- had informed him of his plan when the pair sat together during a working breakfast at the G20 meeting in London. "When I told Obama that the people of Indonesia were awaiting Obama's visit, he said he planned to do so this year," Yudhoyono told reporters in his plane as he returned from London, the news agency reported.
