TIME gets it right: The real Joko Widodo

On Tuesday, October 27, the prestigious newspaper mistakenly identified Indonesian Defense Minister Ryamizard Ryacudu as Indonesian President Joko Widodo in a photo caption.

It did not take long before a netizen pointed out their mistake.Widodo was in the United States – the first Indonesian president to visit in a decade – where he met President Barack Obama. 

His visit aimed to attract foreign investors to Indonesia, although he decided to cut his trip short to return to his home country to attend to the worsening haze crisis.
