President Prabowo Subianto will visit China and meet leader Xi Jinping this week, both nations said Tuesday -- his first foreign tour as he seeks a more prominent position for Jakarta on the world stage. The 73-year-old ex-general's state visit will take place from Friday to Sunday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said in a statement. Beijing said the visit would aim to "push China-Indonesia relations... to a new level". "China is ready to work with Indonesia to take this visit as an opportunity to consolidate high-level political mutual trust," the foreign ministry's Mao Ning told a regular briefing. Xi will hold a welcoming ceremony for the Indonesian leader and the two will hold talks, she said. Prabowo will also meet with Premier Li Qiang and number three official Zhao Leji, Mao added. Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Roy Soemirat confirmed the visit to AFP.
