WASHINGTON/JAKARTA (Reuters) - Indonesia's President Joko Widodo is expected to meet U.S. President Joe Biden as soon as this coming Monday at the White House, according to a person familiar with the plans.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
A spokesperson for the Southeast Asian country's foreign ministry said earlier on Tuesday that a meeting between the two leaders would take place "this month."
Jokowi, as the Indonesian president is known, is scheduled to attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in San Francisco from Nov. 15-17.
Earlier on Tuesday, Jokowi, leader of the world's largest secular Muslim-majority country, said Indonesia's support for Palestine would "never waver."
Indonesia has joined a chorus of international condemnation of Israel's invasion of Gaza following Hamas' attack on Israel on Oct. 7 and has called for an immediate ceasefire.
