President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and his entourage landed at Halim Perdanakusuma Airport Sunday after a six-day trip to India and Switzerland.

Officials present to welcome the entourage back included Vice President Boediono and his wife, Transportation Minister Freddy Numberi and Jakarta Governor Fauzi Bowo.

Yudhoyono witnessed the signing of 18 agreements on joint investment and development projects in India and gave a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

Indonesia and India vowed to raise bilateral trade from $12 billion to $25 billion over the next five years.
