Biden to Host Indonesian President Joko Widodo at the White House, Clean Energy and Economic Prosperity on Agenda

Biden Meeting with Widodo to Strengthen Nearly 75-Year-Long Partnership Between World's Second and Third Largest Democracies Ahead of APEC Summit

  • President Joe Biden is set to host Indonesian President Joko Widodo at the White House on November 13, where they are set to discuss topics including clean energy transition, advancing economic prosperity, and promoting peace and stability in the region.
  • This meeting aims to reaffirm the United States' commitment to deepen their nearly 75-year-long partnership with Indonesia, the world's second and third largest democracies respectively.
  • This important diplomatic event will take place just before President Biden's trip to San Francisco to participate in the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit.
  • The two leaders had previously engaged in discussions at the Group of 20 summit in New Delhi in September, and President Biden visited Indonesia during the previous year's G-20 summit.
  • Indonesia's support for Palestine, as expressed by President Widodo, does not appear to waver and could potentially be part of the discussions during this meeting.
