Prime Minister Narendra Modi is all set to go to Indonesia on September 6, days ahead of the much-awaited G20 Summit.The diplomatic visit is a tight 24-hour trip, which culminates in his return to New Delhi on September 7 evening. The PM was invited by the Indonesian President Joko Widodo.

“Prime Minister Narendra Modi will travel to Jakarta, Indonesia on September 6 to 7 at the invitation of Joko Widodo, the President of the Republic of Indonesia,” the MEA said in a statement.

The East Asia Summit is equally significant, giving India a platform alongside eight other dialogue partners and ASEAN nations to discuss issues of regional and global import.

PM Modi will take part in two high-level summits on September 7 — the 20th ASEAN-India Summit and the 18th East Asia Summit (EAS). Indonesia, which currently holds the chair of ASEAN, rearranged the summit schedules to allow for PM Modi’s early departure.
