Jakarta,
Sept 29, 2014 (Antara) - President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono made a historical
visit to Portugal on September 18-20, 2014, less than a month before he
ends his term in office after leading Indonesia for a decade.
"Both
countries have established new ties and found the spirit to further
strengthen their cooperation," President Yudhoyono said in Lisbon.
He
observed that the bilateral ties between Indonesia and Portugal are
"growing stronger," particularly after Portuguese President Anibal
Cavaco Silva's Indonesian tour in 2012.
President Silva praised Indonesia for holding an important position among the global communities.
