The Prince of Wales is scheduled to kick off his 5-day trip in the country today, top British envoy said Friday evening.

According to the British Ambassador to Indonesia, Martin Hatfull, Prince Charles will be visiting a Jambi forest to oversee a British-sponsored project aimed at restoring the forest's ecosystem and saving endangered species on Sunday.

The heir to the English throne is also scheduled to meet current Yogyakarta governor and presidential hopeful Sri Sultan Hamengkubowono X in Central Java on Tuesday, Kompas.com reported.

Prince Charles, who recently visited Brunei Darussalam and Japan, will not be accompanied by the Duchess of Cornwall on this leg of the Asian trip.

The future head of the British monarchy's last visit to the country was in 1989. (amr)
