JEDDAH, 9 August 2004 — Indonesian President Megawati Sukarnoputri yesterday ended a three-day visit to the Kingdom to perform Umrah. She did not meet with Saudi leaders as the visit was entirely private, said a spokesperson at the Indonesian Consulate General. “It was a private trip, simply for (performing) Umrah”, said the spokesperson. The Indonesian leader flew into Madinah at dawn Friday where she prayed at the Prophet’s Mosque before heading to Makkah to perform Umrah. She concluded her visit in Jeddah yesterday after a meeting with the Indonesian community in the Kingdom.
