Press Statement of President of the Republic of Indonesia After Face-to-Face Meeting with President of the United States at the White House, Washington D.C., the United States, November 13, 2023

It is an honor for me to fulfill the invitation from President Biden to visit Washington D.C. The US is one of the most important partners for Indonesia and we agreed to elevate our partnership into a comprehensive strategic partnership. But, most importantly, we have to give a real meaning to it. For Indonesia, economic cooperation is a priority, including on supply chain issues.

Indonesia also wishes our partnership contributes to regional and global peace and prosperity. So, Indonesia appeals to the US to do more to stop the atrocities in Gaza. Cease fire is a must for the sake of humanity.

Once again, thank you for your invitation, President Biden.
Thank you.
