MOSCOW: Japan’s Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako will pay an official visit to Indonesia from June 17-23 at the invitation of the Indonesian government, reported Sputnik.
The imperial couple is expected to attend a banquet hosted by Indonesian President Joko Widodo and his wife in the capital city of Jakarta, meet with Japanese citizens living in the country, and visit a local university. After that, Naruhito and Masako will go to the Special Region of Yogyakarta to visit Borobudur, a world heritage Buddhist temple located just off the city of Magelang.
