President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono on Thursday began the day with a joint breakfast with military chiefs of 10 ASEAN member states, at the State Palace in Jakarta.
The breakfast banquet was held as part of the 8th ASEAN Chiefs of Defense Forces Informal Meeting (ACDFIM), which is an annual event.
A similar banquet was held last year in Hanoi, as Vietnam chaired the ASEAN in 2010. This year, Indonesia holds the chair post.
The meeting, the rest of whose sessions will take place at the Sultan Hotel in Jakarta, covers defense and security issues in Southeast Asia, tempointeraktif.com reported Thursday.
This year, the meeting is expected to conclude with commitments to continuing and enhancing ASEAN countries’ partnerships in tackling terrorism in the region.
Yudhoyono is scheduled to lead a Cabinet meeting at his office after the breakfast, but the agenda of this meeting had not been made public at the time of the report.
