US President Barack Obama still wants to visit his old hometown of Jakarta perhaps later in the year, despite the twin blasts at two luxury hotels in the city, the White House said on Monday.

“I have no reason to believe that the events of the past few days have changed or lessened the president's desire” to visit Indonesia, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said.

Obama spent a few years as a child living in Jakarta from 1967 to 1971 after his mother remarried to an Indonesian.

He told reporters in June: “Oh, I need to come to Indonesia soon. I expect to be traveling to Asia at some point within the next year and I would be surprised if when I came to Asia I did not stop by my old home town of Jakarta.

“And I’ll go visit Menteng Dalam and have some bakso — nasi goreng. These are some special dishes here that I used to eat when I was a kid.”

The annual summit of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum to be held in Singapore in November could provide an opportunity for a stopover in Indonesia.

Gibbs stressed the special importance that Indonesia holds for Obama, saying: “Obviously it is a country with the largest number of Muslims in the world, important to him from that standpoint as well as personal.”

Soon after news of the bombings broke on Friday, Obama publicly condemned the attacks, saying such violence could never be justified in Islamic teachings.

US President Barack Obama phoned his Indonesian counterpart Saturday to offer condolences following a pair of deadly bombings at Jakarta hotels.

"The President(s)... reaffirmed the close cooperation between the United States and Indonesia in countering extremism in Southeast Asia and around the world," said the White House in a statement.

Obama also repeated his praise for last week's presidential election, saying Indonesia shows the world that Islam and democracy can thrive together.

The American president spent part of his childhood in Jakarta with his Indonesian stepfather, and his written about how the experience influenced his views on society and politics. He sent his Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, to Jakarta early in his presidency to reinforce his calls for closer ties between the two nations.

Obama is expected to visit the country himself in November, according to the Indonesian Embassy in Washington.
