I am pleased to announce His Excellency Mr Joko Widodo, President of the Republic of Indonesia, and Her Excellency Mrs Iriana Joko Widodo will visit Canberra from 8 to 10 February as Guests of Government.
This will be President Widodo's fourth visit to Australia since taking office in 2014. It follows my visit to Jakarta for the President's inauguration in October 2019.
Indonesia and Australia share a strong and vibrant relationship-as neighbours, strategic partners and friends.
Our relationship is founded on people-to-people links, economic cooperation and a commitment to a peaceful and prosperous Indo-Pacific region.
President Widodo's visit will be an opportunity to build on the Australia-Indonesia Comprehensive Strategic Partnership and discuss further cooperation on trade and investment, maritime issues, defence and security, counter-terrorism, cybersecurity, transnational crime and education.
Jenny and I look forward to warmly welcoming President Widodo and Mrs Widodo to Australia.
