A top U.S. diplomat met Indonesia's president on Saturday and discussed a revival in military ties between the two countries as well as reconstruction efforts in the tsunami-hit Aceh province. Neither U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Robert Zoellick nor President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono spoke to reporters after the meeting and an Indonesian spokesman gave only sketchy details. "They talked about cooperation in education, investment, military reform and relations with the American military," Dino Patti Djalal told reporters. He said the two also discussed Yudhoyono's upcoming visit to Washington on May 25-26. Zoellick is on a tour of Southeast Asia. He will travel to Aceh on Sunday to review U.S. efforts in helping reconstruction. Zoellick has visited Thailand, the Philippines and Vietnam. After Indonesia he travels to Malaysia and Singapore, Reuters reported.
