JAKARTA, Sept. 6 (Xinhua) -- Indonesian President Joko Widodo was scheduled to visit South Korea, aimed at strengthening bilateral economic and investment cooperation between the two countries, Indonesian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Arrmanatha Nasir said here on Thursday.
The visit to South Korea, slated for Sept. 10-11, would be Widodo's reciprocal visit after his South Korean counterpart Moon Jae-in visited Indonesia last year, Nasir said.
The visit will be part of the jubilation to commemorate the 45th anniversary of Indonesia-South Korea diplomatic ties.
The visit was highly expected to enhance trade, investment and industry cooperation between the two countries, said the spokesperson.
During the visit, Indonesian and South Korean governments would sign Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) documents on legal, immigration, economy, human resources development, maritime, environment and forestry cooperation.
Besides having bilateral talks with President Moon Jae-in, Widodo would also attend an Indonesia-South Korea business forum.
South Korea was the fourth largest investor by nation to Indonesia with a total investment of 2.2 billion U.S. dollars last year.
The two nations have agreed to uplift bilateral cooperation into Special Strategic Partnership, reached during the visit of South Korean president to Indonesia last year.
The Indonesian president was also scheduled to deliver a general lecture at South Korea's Hankuk University during his visit in South Korea.
