A 30-MINUTE meeting between United States President Barack Obama and Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono yesterday ended with both leaders pledging closer ties, and a visit by Mr Obama and his family to Indonesia next year.
Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Mr Obama said he hoped to take First Lady Michelle Obama and their daughters, Malia and Sasha, with him to Indonesia.
'I'm hoping to be able to take Michelle and the girls as well so that they can take a look at some of my old haunting grounds,' he said, drawing chuckles when his audience realised he meant 'hunting grounds'.
