Jakarta is set for the 20th ASEAN-India Summit and the 18th East Asia Summit for which Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to depart from Delhi today.
The Prime Minister will be in Jakarta at the invitation of the President of Indonesia, Joko Widodo.
Both the ASEAN-India Summit and the 18th East Asia Summit (EAS) will take place on September 7 (Thursday).
Indonesia, the current chair of ASEAN, made adjustments to the schedule for both summits to facilitate PM Modi’s early return as his visit to Indonesia comes ahead of the G20 Summit to be held in New Delhi on September 9-10 under India’s Presidency this year.
