President Obama will visit Indonesia

President Obama must postpone his planned visits to Indonesia and Australia for a later date (original plan is in March 2010) so he can remain in Washington for passage of health insurance reform.

Indonesia is the world’s fourth most populous country, the third largest democracy; is home to the largest Muslim population in the world; and an important partner in the G20. President Obama greatly regrets the delay of his visits. U.S. international alliances are critical to America’s security and economic progress.

During his visit President Obama will formally launch the U.S.-Indonesia Comprehensive Partnership, an initiative through which the United States will broaden and strengthen relations with Indonesia to tackle important regional and global issues.

Indonesia is a country that the President has personal experience in, having lived there for four years as a child; having a sister who’s half Indonesian; and his mother of course worked extensively in Indonesia for 20 years. So he will be able to speak to his connections to the country.

The President will continue on to Australia following the visit to Indonesia.

美国总统巴拉克.奥巴马原定于2010年三月下旬访问他难以忘怀的印度尼西亚。但因他必须留在华盛顿促使美国国会对医疗改革方案进行表决,而决定推迟亚洲之行。

印度尼西亚共和国是世界第四人口最多的国家,第三大民主政体,最大的穆斯林国度,和G20重要成员国。奥巴马总统对推迟出访表示遗憾。他再次强调美国同印度尼西亚和澳大利亚的联盟对美国的安全和进步至关重要。

美国-印度尼西亚全面伙伴关系倡议

在此推迟访问期间,奥巴马总统将与印度尼西亚总统苏西洛会面,同时正式启动美国-印度尼西亚全面伙伴关系倡议。

奥巴马和印度尼西亚的亲密关系

奥巴马总统和印度尼西亚持有亲密的关系。在童年时期,奥巴马在印度尼西亚渡过了四年的美好时光。他有一位拥有印度尼西亚血统的妹妹,而他的母亲也在印度尼西亚工作了近20年。因此,他将会亲密地和那里的人民接触交谈。

奥巴马除访问印度尼西亚之外,还将对澳大利亚进行访问。
