Jakarta (ANTARA News) - US President Barack Obama postponed his planned visit to Indonesia until June 2010.

Indonesian presidential spokesman Dino Patti Djalal confirmed here early on Friday morning that the White House had contacted him directly about the postponement.

"The communications is not directly from President Obama to President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono but from the White House to me directly," he said.

He would not as yet tell what President Yudhoyono`s response was to the postponement saying "I will explain later," he said.

Dino confirmed that the reason for the postponement was the political situation in the US as President Obama`s heath care reform plan had not yet been approved by the Congress.

Obama was expected to arrive in Jakarta on March 23 for a three-day visit, later than it was initially scheduled on March 18, 2010.(*)
