JAKARTA, Feb 19 (Reuters) - Indonesia President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono urged U.S. leadership on climate change in a meeting with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Thursday, as she visited to boost U.S. ties with Southeast Asia and the Muslim world.

She was due to travel to South Korea later in the day for talks on the North's military threat.
