- Story Text: Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono started a state visit to Poland on Wednesday (September 4) intended to strengthen ties between the two countries.
He is accompanied by a delegation including his wife Ani on the second leg of a trip that took him first to Kazakhstan.
On Wednesday he met his Polish counterpart Bronislaw Komorowski. Yudhoyono is due to sign bilateral agreements with Poland on agriculture, trade, investment, mining and education.
"The main purpose of the visit to Poland is to strengthen cooperation and bilateral partnerships between Indonesian and Poland, also in the future to enhance cooperation between ASEAN and the European Union where Indonesia and Poland play an important role in each respective region," Yodhoyono told a news conference.
"I can say with great pleasure that today's visit of the Indonesian President means improved political dialogue and improved political cooperation. I'm quite sure that this healthy cooperation is also a consequence of both our countries' experiences with regards to democratisation, with all positive consequences of this process, and also with awareness of difficulties," the Polish president said.
Poland is Indonesia's third-largest trading partner in central and eastern Europe.
