P

resident Joko "Jokowi" Widodo is scheduled to meet US President Joe Biden this month, "most likely" at the White House, a spokesperson for the Southeast Asian country's foreign ministry said on Tuesday.

The date of the meeting was unclear. Jokowi 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.
