Prodigy, 21, about to become doctor
JAKARTA, Nov. 6 (UPI) -- Trade and health issues top the agenda for U.S. President George Bush's meeting with Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono in Jakarta this month.
Foreign Minister Hassan Wirajuda says the meeting between the two leaders is likely to focus on soft issues such as trade, investment, health, education and welfare, Indonesia's Antara News reported. Military issues are not expected to be on the schedule.
"Politically, there is no problem anymore in military-to-military cooperation," says Hassan. "If there is, it will only be technical in nature. We no longer have the problem of an embargo like before."
The exact date for Bush's arrival hasn't been announced and is said to still be under discussion.
Thousands of Indonesians have threatened to take to the streets to protest the visit.
The two leaders will have their talks at the presidential palace in Bogor.
