| Obama makes long-awaited return to home Indonesia |
| 2010-11-10 |
[Al Arabiya] United States President Barack B.O.Obama finally made a much-delayed homecoming of sorts to Indonesia on Tuesday, seeking to engage Mohammedans and cement strategic relations on the second leg of his Asia tour. Obama arrived in Jakarta under stormy skies on Air Force One from India, as his nine-day Asian odyssey took him from the world's largest democracy to its most populous Mohammedan-majority nation. The president spent four years in Indonesia as a boy with his late mother, though he will have little time for tourism on the 24-hour visit in which he will attempt to renew his outreach to the Mohammedan world while courting new markets and business opportunities for U.S. companies. White House front man Minister of Information Robert Washington BobGibbs told news hounds that volcanic ash spewing from the mouth of Mount Merapi in central Java could force Obama to cut back the whirlwind trip even shorter. "The modeling for the volcanic ash will likely necessitate that we leave Indonesia several hours earlier than the schedule had it laid out tomorrow," he said, adding however that a keynote speech scheduled for Wednesday would still take place. Remembered by his old Indonesian schoolmates as a chubby boy called "Barry", Obama will hold talks and share an official dinner with President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono on Tuesday, focusing on economic and security issues. |
