NUSA DUA: US President Barack Obama left Indonesia's Bali island on Saturday after an Asian summit where he sought to underscore his administration's foreign policy shift towards the Pacific.
Obama, the first US president to take part in the East Asia Summit, left aboard Air Force One from Denpasar international airport at 4.35pm local time (0835 GMT), an AFP photographer saw.
Earlier Obama met China's Premier Wen Jiabao and prodded him on maritime territorial rows and economic wrangles, amid signs of Chinese scorn for his Pacific diplomatic push.
On Friday Obama announced he would send Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to Myanmar next month to encourage signs of democratic reform from the new nominally civilian regime, in a country ruled by a military junta for decades.
