BEIJING (AP) — Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto has pledged to maintain close ties with China during a meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Beijing, his first overseas stop since he took office three weeks ago. Subianto is seeking to strengthen relations with China, Indonesia’s largest trading partner. Saturday’s visit to Beijing is Subianto’s second this year, following a visit in April as president-elect after winning the Indonesian presidential election in February. Subianto is scheduled to visit four other nations, including the U.S. and the U.K., suggesting that Indonesia will continue its longstanding stance of neutrality between Beijing and Washington.
