(Eagle News)–Indonesia President Joko Widodo is slated to visit the Philippines next week.

and partners that have enjoyed longstanding and robust cooperation in a wide range of
areas in the political, economic, and people-to-people relations, ” it said.
The DFA said President Marcos is expected to meet with Widodo on January 10, where the leaders are expected to take stock of the progress in Philippines-Indonesia relations following the successful state visit of the Filipino leader to Indonesia in September 2022.
