P

resident Joko "Jokowi" Widodo will meet US President Joe Biden at the White House next week for talks on regional security and clean-energy transition, White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre said on Tuesday.

Jean-Pierre told a news briefing the meeting would take pace on Monday, confirming an earlier Reuters report.

She said the two would discuss ways to uphold international law and ensure a free-and-open Indo-Pacific, a reference Washington uses to describe its efforts to push back against China's growing power and influence in the region. 

"During the visit, President Biden will reaffirm the United States' commitment to deepening our nearly 75-year-long partnership between the world's second and third largest democracies," she said.

Jean-Pierre said the two leaders would also explore opportunities to enhance cooperation on the transition to clean energy, to advance economic prosperity, and to bolster regional peace and stability.

Jokowi is scheduled to attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in San Francisco from Nov. 15-17. 

Plans for the Washington meeting were first announced in September after Biden disappointed Indonesia by not attending a summit with Southeast Asian leaders in Jakarta in August and sent Vice President Kamala Harris instead.
