Indonesia president visits islands also claimed by China

Indonesian President Joko Widodo on Wednesday reaffirmed his country's sovereignty during a visit to a group of islands at the edge of the South China Sea that China claims as its traditional fishing area. Widodo, accompanied by top military officials, toured Natuna Islands on a naval ship in a move designed to send a message to Beijing. "Natuna is part of Indonesia's territory, there is no question, no doubt," Widodo said in a speech after the trip.
