Saudi King to Visit Indonesia with Entourage of 1,500

Saudi Arabia's King Salman will visit Jakarta and Bali on the Indonesian leg of his Asian tour next month, bringing 1,500 people in his entourage including 10 ministers, Indonesian officials said.

“This is a very historic visit for us,” Cabinet Secretary Pramono Anung told reporters on Tuesday, adding that the king would be in Indonesia from March 1 to 9.

He would spend the last six days of his trip “relaxing” in Bali, Reuters reported.

The last visit by a Saudi king to Indonesia was 46 years ago, when King Faisal came to the archipelago.
