Indonesia aims to sign a comprehensive partnership agreement with the United States in the middle this year during the visit of President Barack Obama, says a foreign minister spokesman.

Teuku Faizasyah said Friday the comprehensive partnership draft would be finalized in the near future and would be ready to be signed in the middle of the year.

"The deliberations are almost complete ... It covers a wide range of issues from education, social issues, politics, to military cooperation," he said.

The partnership was first floated last February during the visit of US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to Jakarta.
