( dpa )- Indonesian president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono on Saturday is scheduled to receive the official visit of Japanese Prince and Princess Akishino at the state palace.
The prince and princess were officially invited by the Indonesian government for a week's visit as part of the commemoration of 50 years diplomacy relations between the two countries.
This will be a second visit for Prince Akishino, 42, who had visited Indonesia for his doctoral research on birds in 1993-1994.
The last official visit to Indonesia was 17 years ago when emperor Akihito and empress Michiko visit the country in 1991.
