P

resident Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, First Lady Ani Yudhoyono and delegation departed from Halim Perdanakusuma Airport in East Jakarta for a six-day state visit to Stockholm, Sweden, and New York, the US.

The Airbus A330 belonging to flag carrier Garuda Indonesia took off at 8 a.m. on Monday.

Yudhoyono is slated to have bilateral meetings in Stockholm with Swedish King Carl XVI Gustaf, Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt and head of parliament Per Westerberg.

The President will also meet with CEOs of Sweden's top companies.

The delegation is scheduled to leave Stockholm for New York on May 29.

Yudhoyono will lead the last meeting of the United Nations (UN) high-level panel on post-2015 development agenda, which he co-chairs with Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and UK Prime Minister David Cameron.

The fifth gathering of the high-level panel is the final in a series of meetings beginning in New York, the US, in September 2012; then London, the UK, in November 2012; then Monrovia, Liberia, in February 2013; and most recently Bali in March 2013.

The President said the panel's report would be handed over to the UN secretary-general to be discussed by UN member countries.

Yudhoyono and delegation are scheduled to return home on June 2.
