Obama, Family Plan Trip to Boyhood Indonesian School in March

By Agus Suhana and Achmad Sukarsono

Feb. 2 (Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama will bring his wife and children on a trip next month to Indonesia, where he spent part of his childhood, as the U.S. seeks closer ties with the nation that has the world’s largest Muslim population.

“This visit has a sentimental aspect and that’s why he’s bringing along his two daughters,” Indonesian presidential spokesman Dino Patti Djalal told reporters today. “The children will see where their father went to school,” he said, referring to Obama’s time in Jakarta where he studied at Catholic and state-run elementary schools from 1967 to 1971.

Obama plans to formally announce a U.S. partnership with Indonesia during the trip, which will take place in the second half of March, the U.S. embassy in Jakarta said in a statement. The pact, discussed in a November meeting between Obama and Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, will include ways to enhance bilateral investment, Djalal said.

Talks on climate change may also come up, Djalal said. Indonesia trails only the U.S. and China as the biggest carbon dioxide emitting nations when greenhouse gases from deforestation and land-use changes are included, according to the World Wildlife Fund. The U.S. and Indonesia signed up to the Copenhagen accord, which contains numerical goals for all major greenhouse-gas emitters.
