Jakarta. President Prabowo Subianto flew off to China on Friday morning to kick off his first-ever foreign trip that spans over two weeks.

Prabowo, a 73-year-old ex-general inaugurated last month, has pledged to position Jakarta more prominently on the world stage while sticking to its traditional non-aligned foreign policy.

Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is set to meet his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping before heading to the US for a possible meeting with President-elect Donald Trump, balancing relations with the world’s two biggest economies in his first overseas trip.
