US President Barack Obama will travel with his family to his childhood home of Indonesia and go on to Australia in the second half of next month.<br/><br/>Announcing the trip, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said the visit is an important part of the president's continuing effort to broaden and strengthen the partnerships that are necessary to advance security and prosperity. Obama spent part of his childhood in the Indonesian capital Jakarta in the late 1960s, after his divorced mother married an Indonesian.<br/><br/>Gibbs said that Obama looked forward to discussing issues including green energy, climate change, economic recovery and non-proliferation with Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd.
