JAKARTA, March 14 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Barack Obama expressed Washingtong's willingness to involve Jakarta in tackling global issues, including the environment and the financial crisis, an Indonesian government spokesman said.
The expression was made by Obama in a 10-minute phone conversation with Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono Friday evening, during which they discussed some issues including Indonesia and U.S. comprehensive partnership and the G-20 summit, Antara news agency on Saturday quoted presidential spokesman Dino Patti Djalal as saying.
"President Barack Obama at 7:45 p.m. called President Yudhoyono and discussed among others the comprehensive partnership between the U.S. and Indonesia and preparations for the G-20 summit in London early next month," he added.
"President Obama said he wanted to work together with Indonesia in coping with global issues, such as climate change," Dino said.
President Yudhoyono contacted President Obama early in November2008 when Obama had just won the U.S. presidential election. At that time Yudhoyono asked Obama to visit Indonesia on the sidelines of the APEC meeting in Singapore in October this year.
