Clinton took the opportunity to reiterate the Obama administration's message that America is under new management and ready to listen and engage the world. Although her message was received warmly by the authorities, small and scattered protests were held in several cities, including Jakarta. Clinton's visit to Indonesia is aimed at boosting US ties with the world's most populous Muslim nation, pledging a new American willingness to work with and listen to Indonesia and the rest of Southeast Asia. Though most of Indonesia's 190 (m) million Muslims practice a moderate form of the faith, public anger ran high over US policy in the Middle East and the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan during the Bush years, fuelling a small but increasingly vocal fundamentalist fringe. The country has been hit by a string of suicide bombings targeting Western interests in recent years, but experts say an effective police crackdown has sharply reduced the terror threat. Clinton said on Wednesday that her choice of Asia for her first overseas trip as top US Diplomat was a sign of a desire for broader and deeper relations with Indonesia, Southeast Asia and the rest of the continent on regional and global issues. Clinton praised Indonesia for its efforts to fight terrorism while respecting human rights and for its hard-won multiethnic democracy. Clinton, who arrived from a stop in Japan, heads later Thursday to South Korea and China, announced plans to restart Peace Corps programmes in Indonesia. The programmes were suspended in 1965 after volunteers were accused of espionage and expelled. Indonesia, a secular nation of 235 (m) million people, has personal ties for Obama, who spent four years here as a child.
