U
S President Joe Biden will separately meet with Israeli President Isaac Herzog and President Prabowo Subianto in Washington on Tuesday, the White House said in a statement on Sunday.
Local media in Israel reported that Herzog’s office announced the planned meeting earlier.
Herzog is in the United States for the Jewish Federations of North America’s annual General Assembly. The confab kicked off tonight with a pro-Israel rally at the Nationals Park baseball stadium in Washington.
On Saturday, Prabowo met Chinese President Xi Jinping, the state-run Xinhua news agency said.
The newly sworn-in Prabowo landed in China on Friday, kicking off his first foreign tour seeking a more prominent position for Jakarta on the world stage.
Xi held a welcome ceremony for Prabowo at Beijing's Great Hall of the People, where the bilateral talks took place, according to Xinhua.
China and Indonesia are key economic allies, but the two countries have sparred verbally over disputed claims in the South China Sea.
Beijing has said it hopes the visit will take bilateral relations to a "new level".
"China is ready to work with Indonesia to take this visit as an opportunity to consolidate high-level political mutual trust," foreign ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said at a regular briefing on Tuesday.
Prabowo is also meeting Premier Li Qiang and number three official Zhao Leji on his trip, which ends on Sunday.
