JAKARTA — Indonesia's new president headed to China for a state visit on Friday, starting a five-nation tour that could include a meeting with US President-elect Donald Trump as he seeks to balance relations with major powers on his first foreign trip.
Prabowo Subianto, a 73-year-old ex-general inaugurated last month, has pledged to position Jakarta more prominently on the world stage while sticking to its traditional non-aligned foreign policy.
