Indonesia's foreign minister said Friday his country will host two summits of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) during its chairmanship of the 10-nation bloc this year. Asean'S 18th and 19th summits will be held in the capital, Jakarta, on May 7-8 and on the popular resort island of Bali, probably in October.
Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa said Indonesia, which took over the bloc's annual chairmanship from Vietnam, would work to make "significant progress in achieving the Asean Community".
