Jakarta (Antara Bali) - Indonesian President Joko Widodo and First Lady
Mrs. Iriana Widodo will conduct a state visit to Japan from March 22 to
25.
The Japanese Embassys Deputy Chief of Mission to Indonesia, Yusuke
Shindo, said here on Tuesday night that as part of their trip, President
Joko "Jokowi" Widodo and Mrs. Iriana Widodo are scheduled to meet
Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko on March 23.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will also receive President Jokowi and his entourage on the visit. According to Shindo, the itinerary of President Jokowis trip to
Japan is still being discussed by the Japanese government and its
Indonesian counterpart.
"The discussion is underway, but President Jokowi will most likely
visit major Japanese industries and some ports," he stated.
A few members of Jokowis working cabinet, including Trade Minister
Rahmat Gobel and Foreign Affairs Minister Retno Marsudi, will join him
during the trip.
After visiting Japan, President Jokowi is also scheduled to visit
China to attend Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2015. The invitation for President Jokowi to visit Japan was first
conveyed by former Japanese prime minister Yasuo Fukuda, who attended
his presidential inauguration in October last year as the Japanese
special envoy. (WDY)
