SEOUL, July 25 (Yonhap) -- President Yoon Suk-yeol will hold a summit with Indonesian President Joko Widodo in Seoul this week and discuss cooperation in defense, infrastructure and other areas, the national security adviser said Monday.
Widodo will arrive Wednesday and hold summit talks with Yoon on Thursday at the invitation of the South Korean president, Kim Sung-han said during a press briefing.
During the summit, the two leaders "will discuss bilateral cooperation in various areas, including defense, infrastructure and economic security," Kim said, adding there will also be "in-depth discussions" on South Korea's upcoming Indo-Pacific strategy and its collaboration with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

Kim said Indonesia is the only ASEAN member to have a special strategic partnership with South Korea, accounting for 41 percent of the bloc's population and 34 percent of its total gross domestic product.
The country is also a member of the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework, alongside South Korea, and plays an important role for the stability of supply chains involving core minerals.
Widodo's visit is expected to not only strengthen relations between South Korea and Indonesia but also mark "the proper beginning of the Yoon Suk-yeol government's diplomacy with ASEAN," Kim said.
Indonesia has yet to pay its share of the cost of a joint fighter development project due to what it claims are economic difficulties.
A presidential official said the issue will likely be discussed during the upcoming summit but that he is hopeful it will be resolved "soon," given Indonesia's strong commitment to the project, dubbed KF-21.
The official backed his claim by pointing to the fact that 39 Indonesian technicians have been sent to work at Korea Aerospace Industries, which is responsible for the project.
Widodo's two-day visit to South Korea will also include a meeting with businesspeople, visits to a Hyundai Motor research center and a war memorial, a joint press conference with Yoon, and a banquet, where they will be joined by their wives and businesspeople.

SEOUL, July 23 (Yonhap) -- The top nuclear envoys of South Korea and the United States met in Indonesia and coordinated their responses to North Korea's nuclear and missile threats, the foreign ministry said Saturday.
The meeting between Kim Gunn, special representative for Korean Peninsula peace and security affairs, and U.S. Special Representative for North Korea Sung Kim was held Friday in Jakarta, where the American diplomat also serves as the U.S. ambassador to Indonesia.
"As our government is crafting a North Korea policy road map in consultation with relevant ministries and in close consultation with the United States, there were detailed and in-depth discussions on the road map at the latest meeting between the top South Korean and U.S. nuclear envoys," a foreign ministry official said.
The Yoon Suk-yeol administration has been devising an "audacious plan" to offer to North Korea in the event it takes steps to denuclearize.
The plan will include economic incentives and security guarantees, according to government officials.
The envoys' meeting came about two weeks after they met on the sidelines of a Group of 20 foreign ministers' meeting on the Indonesian island of Bali.
