Hillary Clinton is scheduled to pay a courtesy call on President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono on Tuesday morning during his second visit to the country.

Presidential spokesman Julian Aldrin Pasha said at the presidential palace on Friday no technical issues would be discussed in the meeting with the President as it was a common courtesy call made by a state guess.

"Well, it would be more for increasing that cooperation that has been built so far and deepening the relations between the two countries. Technical things would be discussed during the meeting between the two ministers," he said.

"As usual there a request certainly has been made for the meeting with the President from the foreign ministry like recently when the President also received a courtesy call from the visiting Chinese foreign minister," he said.(*)
