Jakarta. In Indonesia for an Internet.org meeting on Monday, Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg on Sunday first took some time off to visit the Borobudur temple, a Unesco World Heritage Site in Magelang, Central Java.

The chief executive officer of the Internet giant posted a picture on Facebook of himself sitting at the famous Buddhist shrine, explaining: “I just arrived in Indonesia and hiked up Borobudur to watch the sunrise. Tomorrow for Internet.org I’m looking forward to meeting with developers, operator partners and government leaders in Jakarta.”

Internet.org is a partnership of Facebook and five technology companies that aims to increase Internet access in parts of the world that have remained largely unconnected. One of the challenges in countries like Indonesia is how to use data and networks more efficiently, which is one of the issues that will be discussed at the meeting Zuckerberg attends on Monday.

President-Elect Joko Widodo on Sunday also said he may be meeting with Zuckerberg on Monday.

“Tomorrow [I will meet Zuckerberg],” Joko was quoted as saying by news portal Kompas.com, disclosing no further details.
