BOGOR, Indonesia (AP) — Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi will meet his Indonesian counterpart Joko Widodo on Tuesday during a trip aiming to strengthen economic ties between the Muslim-majority nations amid heightened global geopolitical tensions. Raisi’s visit is at Widodo’s invitation as Indonesia aims to speed its economic recovery by increasing its exports. Raisi is scheduled to lay a wreath at the Kalibata Heroes Cemetery in Jakarta before he meets with Widodo. They will witness the signing of a preferential trade pact and other agreements.
