KUALA LUMPUR/JAKARTA (Reuters): US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is due to visit Indonesia and Malaysia next week as the Biden administration ramps up engagement in South-East Asia, a bloc it sees as central to its efforts to counter China's growing influence.

I Gede Ngurah Swajaya, Indonesia's director general for American and European Affairs, told reporters on Monday that Blinken will visit Jakarta on Dec 13-14, the third and most senior US official to visit the region in two months.

During his Indonesia leg, Blinken is due to deliver a speech on health, investment, and infrastructure in the Indo-Pacific, Ngurah said. Blinken will also participate virtually in the Bali Democracy Forum on Dec 9.
