Indonesian President Joko Widodo's US visit overshadowed by Gaza tensions and Xi summit.
Indonesian President Joko Widodo is visiting the United States for a summit with President Joe Biden and to attend the APEC summit amid the ongoing Israel-Gaza war. While there are concerns about whether Widodo will call for a ceasefire in Gaza, experts believe he will focus on discussing trade, investment, and bilateral cooperation with the US. The visit comes as the Indonesia Hospital in Gaza, built with donations from Indonesian citizens and organizations, has been encircled by Israeli forces. Widodo is expected to prioritize economic matters during his visit, but the issue of the hospital may be difficult to ignore.
