Indonesian president arrives today

Indonesian President Joko Widodo arrives in Dhaka today on a two-day visit to discuss bilateral, regional and global issues, including the Rohingya crisis.

He is expected to visit Rohingya camps in Cox's Bazar during his visit, a foreign ministry official said.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina visited Indonesia in 2015 and 2017 and invited the Indonesian president to visit Bangladesh.

In September last year, Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi visited Dhaka and discussed the Rohingya issue with top Bangladeshi officials.

Apart from other engagements, Widodo will have meetings with President Abdul Hamid and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
